I'm sure what others are trying to infer is that these are all unnecessary to aid the mitigation of just Denial of Service attacks - your webserver can be capable of doing so, itself. For DDoS, however, prevention at the application level won't even touch the network side of things. Your options are as follows;
Keep your IP address secret and choose Cloudflare. The free version is good, and the prices aren't bad either.
OR
Choose a well-established host, capable of mitigating attacks and boasting enterprise hardware w/ firewalls. It may cost a little more, but for the money many of you make on these 'retros', you'd be damned if you can't afford a little extra.
Nice, but as a webmaster if you simply setup cloudflare correctly and modify the PHP configuration you're able to easily hide the IP (I setup cloudflare for a forum then it got hit constantly with 130Mbit Ddos' nullrouting the IP so I let someone edit the configuration and it worked perfectly). Although these programs are good; in the sense you're only being hit on port 80 then sure go ahead but if they're sending SSYN attacks then you're not going to get much out of them hence a hardware firewall is ultimately the only way you're going to completely if not partially stop all attacks seen as it route's through the network. IIS+ Cloudflare + Hardware firewall = Ultimate protection against most attacks.
This is true, but it spends a lot off money to buy it, you can almost buy a proxy that is connected with your dedicated server, you can use these for your hotel whatever, and if people ddossing it has no effect. Some hotels use this.Originally Posted by pixelpro321
