Hi there > Will moving to VPS hosting be sufficient, or is a dedicated server required?
If it was that simple, DoS would not exist. There's no real effective countermeasure unless your hosting provider is involved. They need to monitor where attacks are coming from in realtime and drop traffic from there at the earliest possible point in their network. The problem is that a DDoS will use a botnet, so attacks may be coming from thousands of home user IPs, and blanket bans of IP blocks will be overkill. Even so this may be necessary while the DDoS lasts. They also need to be aware that you're facing a DDoS, otherwise you could face a massive bill for bandwidth overage. -- jean . .. .... //\\\oo///\\ _______________________________________________ LUGS Mailing list - [email protected] List FAQ: http://wiki.lugs.org.sg/LugsMailingListFaq Info page: http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet To unsubscribe send an empty email to: [email protected]
