@Linux I've been in DigitalOcean in times and they suspended me without notice and said they couldn't do anything on that subject. Apart of that I tried Kimsufi (from OVH). I can't recall why, but I left them as they were not being able to mitigate the attacks too.

What needs (specs) do you have and how much is your budget?
I work at a hosting company myself and we protect everything with Arbor Anti DDOS -
@Linux currently I am with SiteGround' GoGeek shared hosting plan (https://siteground.com/shared-hosti...). I am paying 88.38 € for a 3-month plan.
For a side-project (and 2 or 3 more websites with no traffic) that barely makes profit, I consider it a somewhat expensive price. -
@ivoecpereira
Alright!
How big is your site?
What framework?
How many visitors?
Where are you located?
Sorry for this amount of questions, but I need it to see if I can give you a good price. -
@Linux Max ~10k unique pageviews month
Monthly Transfer data so far: 14.98Gb
Disk Usage: ~12Gb (may not correspond to reality, as some backups are probably being maintained here)
Location: Netherlands (my main target is Portugal, so would prefer the nearest possible)
I have 8 parked domains. 4 Wordpress, 1 Invision Power Board, 1 Xenforo (inside a Wordpress) and another raw setup with HTML, JS and PHP. All these are based on PHP.
A caching system is appreciated. I have no problem installing and managing the server myself if that helps to have a better rate. -
@ivoecpereira
Alright, we are based in Sweden so it is maybee a little far away?
A server in out environment is not the cheapest thou.
Otherwhise, I would recommend looking att Vultr. I have some servers there with Invision Power Board, some wp sites and maybee 15k unique visitors/ month. All on a $5/month server.
I do run following;
MariaDB
Apache 2.4.29 (http2 and brotli enabled)
PHP-FPM 5.6, 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2
Memcached and redis (for IPB)
Subdomains with mediacontent on a subdomain on the same server, but cached in cloudflare. -
@ivoecpereira
So, the company I work for would not suit your needs if you need a server. Therefore I recommend Vultr instead -
@Linux thanks a lot for your recommendations man! They are very useful.
When I had my own server in my VPS I was using Nginx, PHP-FPM, MariaDB, PHP7 and Memcached.
I will give Vultr a try, thanks. Do you have any comments on their Anti-DDoS protection? -
@ivoecpereira
They have hood ddos protection :)
I can also recommend, setting up a load balancer such as varnish, that load balance to two webservers that uses an external database and fileserver -
@Linux thanks man! I got it 😁 I am planning my server bootstrap, regarding some tools and tips I will be using on its setup (more details in my last rant if you wanna check)

Did you say security?
What do you use for your side-projects regarding Anti-DDoS protection?
I have a community with 1-2k daily users hosted in Siteground. Currently, I am not experiencing any DDoS issues (mainly L4) but I used to when I was using another service provider. The trade-off is that the machine and the service I'm paying here is way more expensive.
I don't care about managing the server, but I was looking for a cheaper option to get my project with.
The stack is LAMP and it is an Invision Power Board forum.
What do you recommend? Which service(s) do you use for your projects and how do you prevent DDoS on your side?
