    Hello everyone,

    Need some advice from you. My site is down for already 3 days due the DDoS attack.
    And of course my hosting keeps silence (Media Temple) on this. So does anyone can recommend any hosting provider that will 100% guarantee DDoS preventing?

    Thanks all of you

    Use liquidweb.com, they have the best technical support I've experienced so far.

    To be able to guarantee handling of DDOS attacks needs extremely powerful hardware, junipers etc. All these will add up to more than a 5 to 6 figure cost and you will need to take dedicated server systems.

    For normally hosting companies, most of them will just null your IPs. Few if any are equipped to handle DDOS attacks on a large scale.
