DDoS attacks are too expensive to protect against. Here's a price sheet from Gigenet, starting from a low low price of $750.00/mo with $1000 setup that only protects against 50 megabytes/sec. https://www.gigenet.com/order/index.php?order=true&form=311 https://www.gigenet.com/order/index.php?order=true&form=... 95% of dedicated hosts out there will immediately nullroute you if you get a DDoS attack like Softlayer, Ubiquity, etc... Unfortunate as it is, this is a common practice for hosting companies. At the risk of getting downvoted again, I am going to re-paste a comment I made. DDoS attacks are way too easy to do now, and something needs to be done about it. Anyone can go to www.hackforums.net for a free UDP flooder (called shell booters there), or rent one capable of over 20 gb/s for $5. Or if you want to do it yourself, pick a cheap throwaway vps from www.lowendbox.com, go to www.gametracker.com and grab IPs from COD4, Wolfeinstein ET, Medal of Honor, etc... and send UDP query packets with your IP spoofed as the victim. This will amplify the size of your attack 20x or more and hide your IP address. You can easily get 10-20 gb/sec attacks like this.
