i have a server in hostforweb. but these days, my server suffers lots of ddos. and it get down frequently. what can i do? could you recommand a webhosting with ddos protection?
Have you even tried something like this? Remember that Google is your pal! you can also try to read some threads on the big hosting forums, you can't imagine how many good resources and tips you can find there.
Here is a list of sites that offer webhosting with ddos protection http://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&...=Search&cx=!016675785273422885219:yfgjsuxnq60 Here is a list of Free web hosting with ddos protection http://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&...=Search&cx=!016675785273422885219:yfgjsuxnq60
Liquidweb have stood the test of time for DDOS protection. I've been with them for a long time now & they will protect you Check my sig link ...
How do you judge that? You can't just say this is good or this is bad! Could you provide some arguments or opinions that can support that?
A real example is WHT. Gigenet helps WHT reduce attacks meanwhile Rackspace could not help. Is it good enough? Another good name is staminus.net, but they provide dedicated server only, meanwhile I think the OP is asking for shared host
Gigenet are helping WHT but do you think that they'll fit OP's needs? Staminus, popular name, agreed, but you don't have proof again. How can you recommend something if you know nothing about the way it works. Do you have the simplest idea how the infrastructure of such Service Provider is built? Do you know what OP's requirements are? Will the SP's infrastructure fit his already implemented network? It's not just pick this or that. You are not buying apples! This is Network Security we are talking about.
haha.... thanks for giving me a big laugh today. Reading again your posts in this thread is really funny for me At first, you asked me how I judge Gigenet is a good name. I gave you an example. Is there anything wrong with it? Then you asked about Gigenet and Staminus infrastructure? Did I mention anything about their infrastructure? I just pick what? What is the OP asking? The OP is asking for a webhost with ddos protection. Is there anything wrong when I gave him 2 well known names in this field? Don't they provide hosting service? Or don't they provide ddos protection? Can you educate me please? I shall be glad to learn what I am wrong here
Right, let me start by saying that the companies out there that offer hosting services and ddos protection for their clients are a truck load. You just have to choose a suitable offer with the price that fits your budget. But it is not as simple as that. You should bear in mind and consider carefully some things, like for example, CPU, HDD, RAM, Bandwidth and stuff like that when it comes to choosing the right server option. You also have to bear in mind that ddos protection services are not that cheap and the companies that offer let's say dedicated servers at market prices with ddos mitigation included are lying at customers. Besides the price for the server that the client has to pay, he/she must be able to afford like 1-3k dollars, at least, and sometimes 3-5k dollars for a reliable ddos protection. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that the companies that you have mentioned fall in that group. I am just saying that before choosing a solution or service like that you have to do some investigation and good analysis of the offers that are presented on the market. All I wanted was some well supported opinion with good arguments. I know that both Gigenet and Staminus need no introduction but what if the person asking you for such recommendations has never heard of them. You will say pick this one cause it's famous or what?
turbulence, can I ask you some questions? - Did the OP mention to any budget level? - Did the OP ask for moving to new host? - Did the OP ask for how to choose a new host? - Did I advice the OP choose Gigenet or Staminus without considering? Don't make me fool. I am not sure about your experience in hosting, but I believe I know how to choose a good vendor in this industry. You gave the OP a general idea, by searching google? Is that a good way to choose meanwhile "companies out there that offer hosting services and ddos protection for their clients are a truck load" as you mentioned? What if you can give the OP some *WELL-KNOWN* names, that he can contact them, to ask about their services, what they can help in this case? Which way is better? You know what, I am not giving out any name without considering. I am not giving the OP an advice likes go ahead, use your google. If the OP doesn't know who provides ddos protection, googl'ing will give him thousands options. Do you want him to spend his time to read each page, then still doesn't know who he should contact? This thread is not what you want. I gave the OP what he wants: *RECOMMEND* a webhosting with ddos protection. And you, if you are still wondering how good they are, and wanting to have "some well supported opinion with good arguments" about Gigenet and Staminus, "Google is your pal" You can also teach yourself by your way: "try to read some threads on the big hosting forums". That's a good way to find out how a vendor is
I wanted to show that you can find info just by typing some keywords which in their turn could lead you to forums, blogs, websites and stuff. It is better to find hosting forums and read the threads there. By saying I want supported opinion with arguments I probably meant that. You could have at least tried to find some nice discussion on that topic and give it to the OP instead of arguing with me. Nothing personal, man. Please excuse me if I have offended you.
