Ask HN: How do you handle DDoS attacks?
I use and recommend hosting with OVH if you are worried about DDOS and serving a Western market. No affiliation, just a happy customer.<p>OVH include DDOS protection by default[0] and they have a very robust backbone network[1] in Europe and North America that they own and operate themselves (this is how & why anti-DDOS is standard with them).<p>For quick side-projects I still fire up a DigitalOcean instance or two because their UX is so slick and easy. If I needed huge scale and price didn't matter I would probably go with AWS (their 'anti-DDOS' is their vast bandwidth + your ability to pay for it during an attack). For everything else, I put it on OVH.<p>[0]<a href="https://www.ovh.com/us/anti-ddos/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ovh.com/us/anti-ddos/</a><p>[1]<a href="http://weathermap.ovh.net/" rel="nofollow">http://weathermap.ovh.net/</a>
