Reliable site ddos protection with open ports

[doit]

I have been using reliable site for almost a month. I recently have been being DOSED through open ports. The open port was port 80. I used cloudflare but it completely ruined my panel. using cloudflare only protects the open port "80". I have open ports for votifier.

I am just asking for suggestions if I should find a way to fix this, or just switch to OVH. I can afford OVH, I just am going to be getting better hardware from reliablesite for cheaper. But it wouldn't matter if I am just gonna be ddosed/dosed.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

ReliableSite already seem to offer DDoS protection https://www.reliablesite.net/ddos-protection/

You did not seem to read correctly. The ddos protection does not work with open ports basically. I spent around 1 hour with a support agent that barely knew what I was saying half the time.

Their ddos protection is not built-in with the machine basically. OVH offers built-in protection for this.

I would suggest getting BitNinja on top of ReliableSite servers as it protects L7 attacks and open ports. I know you’re not having L7 attacks but considering this also helps with open ports this should be considered. It’s around $10/Server/Month depending on the plan you want but I would suggest getting the Pro plan. This is something that isn’t exactly needed as any decent sysa should be able to prevent this for you however BitNinja has saved me a number of times from numerous attackers.


Edit: even with BitNinja this won’t exactly solve your problem but like I said above if you can find a decent sysadmin you should be able to fix this. I still stand by what I said about how you should consider BitNinja

Thank you for the suggestion. All of this complicated work would cost a ton for a system admin. I think it would just be better to buy from OVH. I thought reliablesite was really good. But I guess every good thing has a catch.

Do you have more information on the attacks you were receiving? A packet capture?

We do provide DDoS protection, but it's primarily toward layer 3/4 attacks. If you're receiving layer 7 attacks, we do not filter those (yet).

The support agent claims them to be layer 7. And what is the point in having ddos protection if you can easily bypass it with using layer 7? Also, please reply to my support ticket as I was billed again when I didn't want to continue using reliablesite.[DOUBLEPOST=1571164520][/DOUBLEPOST]

If you guys could fix this problem, I could keep using you. But the support agent I was talking to didn't understand anything I was trying to do.

It's not broken to be fixed. Layer 7 is application layer filtering, not something we advertise or offer just yet. We currently only do layer 3/4, but are working on our layer 7 protection.
