Get hold of a management firm - either one time or get a deal on a monthly basis. You can find good companies that do this for 30-100$ a month - 10-50$ one time.
are you kidding? ITs min 1000$/month and some companies want more than that.You cant prevent DDOS with an internal firewall.for example apf,iptables etc. You probably mean simple DDOS attacks. @BannerSpot Whats your budget?
What control panel/ set up do you have, I think $1000 is well over the top. If you have CPanel I can help you for a lot lot less than that
did you get an answer..? i might need this too.. I am fairly certain on who may have done this to me.
