Hello, I know what all of you with DDoS issues are going through. I ran a really big community - Kill-Streak Gaming with my servers being on top 10 and even top 1 on gametracker. There will always be rival communities or plain retards DDoSing you. I will tell you a few providers that are cheap and have all the DDoS protection you need.
NFO Servers for one has impeccable DDoS protection. Another one is SharkTech - its a hidden gem. They have the cheapest DDoS protected servers in Chicago or Denver - they're opening a new data center in LA very soon. I have been a target of consistent DDoS attacks and getting my OP null routed buy going with these providers will guarantee you protection. If you're on a budget, go with NFO. If you want a great dedicated, rent the i7 from SharkTech. You can run about 10-12 srcds servers with your own HLstats and replays and it won't budge. Hope that helps. Let me know how I can be of help to aspiring community owners.
