DDoS Protected Hosting - Xeronations - 11-30-2012
AF was just offline for several hours, due to what I think was a DDoS attack. These attacks are only going to get worse, so perhaps we should migrate to DDoS protected hosting?

I'm not sure whether it was specifically if it was a DDoS attack or not. I have been on the site longer and I know for one that sometimes it goes down because of hosting issues with the hosting company, as Anar has said before.
I personally would not recommend it until it is absolutely necessary, as DDoS protection doesn't work very well unless you pay a very hefty amount of money.

It was going off, and would come on for a few seconds, and then go back offline again. I don't think this was a hosting problem. But you are right. DDoS protection is very expensive.

We have some prevention for DDoS attacks, but we can't prevent them all.
It's always possible to get more protection, but it costs money.

Umbrella has good protection.

Ironically enough, guess what he's currently on?

We do have some protection, but not a whole lot.
