It cost a lot of money to get the necessary equipment to defend against an attack, but DOSarrest can handle the job rather well. They defend against any kind of DDOS attack and they do not care about the size of the attack. I had a forum which came under attack one day and I did all kinds of things to try and defend against the attack. I wrote my own script to grab IPs, use automated attack detection and block tools, bought expensive cisco hardware, and still, I had a LOT of problems. I finally went and looked for experts in DDOS protection which is when I came across DOSarrest. They where nice and helped get everything set up and optimized for my site. I gave them my IP address and a payment, within 5 minutes I was given an IP to point my DNS to and then my site was back up as soon as my DNS migrated. I turned my TTL down in anticipation for this, so it was only about 10 minutes from the time I gave them my IP to the time I was back online. Then to be safe I changed my IP to a secondary IP, had them update their system which took less then 5 minutes, and then blocked all traffic but theirs coming to my system.
These 4Chan guys attacked MPAA which went to DOSarrest as well and within minutes of being set up there they where back online. They protect a bunch of high end clients who have come under attack and bring on new people all the time.
They also have a nice customer panel where I can log in and change all kinds of settings for my site and view the statistics of the attack. I saw the attack get up to over 500mb/s and have no effect what so ever. I highly recommend them.
