For the hosting side, you should also look at VirtualRoad; I've recently been working with their team on a humanitarian site, and they've been nothing but amazing. For DDoS protection, there is also Deflect.ca - it's an open source DDoS mitigation tool (any group can set a Deflect system up for a family of sites using a collection of low-cost virtual servers), and it is also providing this as a free service to qualifying sites (independent media, human rights, and related). The benefit of this is that you can set it up before an attack; it adds a level of security to your site, speeds it up, and you keep 100% control over the site itself.
