How to counter/mitigate DDos attack

Posted On // Leave a Comment

Hi all,


One of my very old clients called up today and told me that his 11 year old website (renewed periodically) was a victim of a DDos Attack. Innocent of any counter measures, their IT division couldn't do anything and the HOSTING provider also shut them down.


They've asked me if I can provide them some good solution, so I turn up to you guyz and want to ask:




  1. Are their any real effective ways to mitigate such an Attack (without using the shitty cloudfare) ?




  2. Which good yet low cost provider is recommended for a DDos protected VPS. And in an (likely) event of a repeated DDos Attack, will their network be able to control it/mitigate it effectively. Some real life testimonials will help.




  3. Can I make a High Availability load balancing server for it? like make this site replicate on 2-3 different VPS providers. But don't know if such a setup would still help in a DDos attack situation.




Unfortunately I don't have any stats or intrinsic details on what kind of attack was it, just that their site is down from a week.


Please give me some pointers on how I can mitigate and counter these attacks. I don't mind reading and learning some good tactics.!
