DDoS Attacks - Need help!

[Saurav]

My site www.rapidlinks.co.uk was on shared hosting, it was fine, VPS, it was fine. 5 days ago I moved to a dedicated server, and since yesterday I have been facing large ddos attacks.

Is there any way to stop these? I am paying more for the dedicated now and experiencing more downtime
I think they keep changing the IP's so IP banning doesn't help.

You could contact your Dedi server provider and pay them to install a hardware firewall

I bought it with WrzHOST (HostFresh) and tippie said yesterday they are usually very expensive?

How much do they cost?

But they will charge you

Try googling for some tools...

You cannot do anything, unless you can contact your host as whoo said. When you contact them be prepared to pay 200-300+ a month for anti ddos hardware. There are no software firewalls that can stop any True DDOS attacks. so if some one tries to tell you so, its BS.

Talking about "true" DDOS attacks... hardware firewalls are able to filter the traffic only up to some certain amount. So when the "true" DDOS attack comes, they're useless anyway.

Also wondering how you found out that you're being DDOSed, because it's like the first thing people say when they don't know what's happening with their server.

It suddenly goes down, loads of connections from same ip? and tippie says the same thing.
