Mitigating DDoS Attacks -

[Wut]

So,

How can you mitigate an attack? How can you track an attack? Who offers the best services for these types of things?

Also, some explanations of how attacks work would help to give me a greater understanding of how to avoid being affected by them.

Thanks in advance,
Harry.

Edit: When should i worry about getting an attack enough to implement these ideas? Is there a certain player base you guys recommend? (obviously if i'm buying ads i want that.)

Totally agree with JJDAHM1 - Definitely depends on your community.

I'd start out with a service like OVH (Which offers protection out of the box, permanent or automatic, depending on which service you get), and grow out to a dedicated protection plan once you've got the growth to do so.

Get a VPS from www.ovh.com =, 8 gb for $21 and comes with all the ddos protection you'll ever need.

The CPUs on those are utter crap and might handle max. 15 players.

Maybe, however I used one up until I had around 30 players before I went to a dedicated, we never had any problems.
