List of providers who offer DDoS protection.

[Francisco]

It is hard to compete with OVH when they are tossing folks a 1GB VPS with protection @ $2.99 a month.

Especially when they're also throwing 18 months of free service into the mix as well.

I almost feel bad for all the OVH VPS providers that are going to get suckered by their own DC. I said almost because, really, it's OVH, you should've known better.

We offer both free and paid versions of DDoS protection. Free comes standard.

For the sake of completeness:

• AlienVPS has Awknet LA filtered IPs in their Las Vegas location Edit: apparently not any more, although it's still listed on their website
• Root Level's brands in LA (Semoweb, URPad etc.) have Black Lotus filtering on all their IPs.

No idea what level of protection you get with either, but given my experience in the past (not related to DDoS, just service quality and support) I wouldn't want to depend on them.

What does free cover?

I see a lot of "free DDOS protection" advertised on WHT but it ends up meaning "free automated nullrouting"... maybe we need to define DDOS protection in the first post just to be safe.

One is protection, the other one is mitigation.

@Nett How does making your VPS unrouteable count as protection or mitigation? Protecting other clients yes, but advertising it as protection to the buyer implies it protects the buyer.

We're $3/mo in Seattle just to be specific. Good post MannDude.

 

[OSTKCabal]

We offer 4Gbps of mitigation as standard in our Chicago location. As of right now, it comes with all services except special/reduced-price dedicated servers.

What does free cover?

Basic Protection - Free

 

The basic protection that comes with all of our services is a mix of automated and manual detection in which a pre-defined set of rules is used to mitigate small attacks. If large attacks take place, we will disable the IP being attacked so that the rest of the IPs and services on your server continue to operate.

We offer a complete IDS solution in front of our Virtual Data Centers, which includes DDoS protection, at no addtional cost.

Updated the original list to contain more than the original 3 I knew of. Will add more as they're provided.

For price under 5$, DDoS protection is very important. Two of VPS gots suspended because they were compromised to send DDoS attack. So never host your important sites on cheap VPS

How does the price of a VPS affect your inability to secure it? Regardless if you pay $1 or $1000 for the VPS, if you do not take the appropriate steps to secure your own VPS you cannot fault the provider or the cost of the VPS. Also, DDOS protection does not protect against outbound attacks, that's something the client needs to do on their own.

Seriously, I am not sure if you are trolling or genuinely ignorant of technology.

DDoS Protection is mostly protection from inbound connections.  

If your VPS were suspended because they were compromised and sending OUT a DoS attack then that means you've failed to secure your VPS.  If this is an unmanaged service (most likely), then this is the customer's responsibility, not the provider.

Like what @KuJoe said, the price doesn't matter if you don't take proactive measures to secure it.

The stupid.... it hurts.

Learn to secure your VPS moron.

 

[SpartanHost]

We also provide DDoS Protection through CNservers, 20Gb/s. It's included in all Seattle services - Dedicated Servers and VPS's.

Are you listing only VPS providers or does shared/reseller hosting also count?

Shared and resellers fine I'd think.

Nice to have protection on shared hosting

RansomIT offers DDOS mitigation/protection at no extra cost in Sydney and Auckland only. The upstream provider for these POPs runs their own NSFOCUS hardware in the US (but on their network) to filter traffic before it even crosses the Pacific.
