aws ddos protection?

[Guildtag]

Anyone have any experience using EC2 for hosting websites or MC servers and being the target of a ddos attack?

If so, how do they handle it?

My current host null routes my ip for hours if the server comes under attack... so looking for something more reliable.

Which host null routes your IP? Ready2Frag?

Hostwinds

The hardware, bandwidth, and uptime have always been very good, but their support has been horrendous on multiple occasions.

I'll be moving off them in the future, but I have several months left of my year contract left at this time.

AWS is the world's leading scalable cloud provider (Azure better tho), both of them host governmental software and sites which will need some good protection. I sincerely doubt AWS' is worse than OVH's DDoS Protection which is pretty decent.

Most of the time (in the case of Azure as I know them better), if you get attacked they will take the machine offline unless you pay the extra cost of DDoS Protection which is usually based on traffic, which means it won't really be the best way for DDoS protection if you don't want to be paying a lot, but they will protect you very well.

You can probably check https://aws.amazon.com/shield/pricing/ for the pricing of AWS.
