    Buy a Webhost with a Good Bandwith. Also you can use Cloudfare like Vusion said.

    Wrong. Hosts will null route ips blocking ddos attacks, simply contact support and they will take care of it. Good Hosts have a firewall which filters out the bad things and lets the good things threw to your vps or web hosting. In other words your looking for a host that network level DDoS protection.

    As for cloudflare for actual good protection you need a pro account, but also you do need a domain to use cloudflare. Sense it asks for your domain then verifies your domain and looks up the name server entries and asks you to change the name servers for the domain. Best Idea use a domain make a subdomain point the ip to your vps server and enable cloudflare on the subdomain during setup. Gl

    i agree on this, but its a VPS and not a web hosting, i think the attack is directly to his vps and not the network itself. so i guess it did not trigger the firewalls.

    We aren't using it.

    Tip if you want to be protected against DoS/DDoS attacks on a linux host:
    Use Cloudflare and use IPTables to block all IP's except the IP's of Cloudflare.
    This way all attacks directly against your IP will be dropped/blocked.

    Works on server hosting as well. Just matters if your hosting paid a couple thousand bucks for a decent firewall. :)
