It is just a bad idea to host the game server on the same server that hosts the web server , so i would suggest voxility and/or online.net for the game server and you don't need failover for a game server as these providers are quite good with layer 4 attacks and you only need HA for the website...
not really but it will guarantee a very decent uptime something very close to 100% and yes you can achieve 100% uptime if you really know what you are doing..
Psychz Networks is really solid when it comes to DDoS protection specially for Layer7 attacks but if you really want 100% uptime you will need to setup HAProxy to be Highly Available in case of any failure.
maybe you can try the closest locations

Yea , right what i meant is why not buy IPv4 spaces from individuals/companies selling it will be cheaper than buying the whole company.
Anyway congrats for both.
