Linode has 40 Gbps network in, with an API to spin up more servers (implement your own auto scaling). With AWS they absorb the attack & bill me thousands of dollars. That DDOS attack will shut you down financially, but yes you will stay online. With Linode I can not only stay online, but I can afford the hosting bill after the fact.
