I've tested tons of providers for DDOS protection in last 2 years & TBH no one beats OVH's PRO DDOS Protection.
I completely agree with that!

40Gbps DDoS Protection (CNServers)
Doesn't CNServers drop UDP packets while you are being attacked?
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1219218
It works pretty well, however, it does kill the traffic going to that protocol during an attack, keeping the service online.that line appears to me as a contradiction.
EDIT: after reading the comments from the OP at that WHT thread I saw that he multiple times mentioned that players report lag, this doesn't sound too good.
does anyone know if the Voxility network drops UDP packets? they offer 500Gbps protection which looks really good.
In my experience Voxility's network is unstable at best. If you want more info as to why I'll shoot you a pm.
Yea, i'd like to hear about that. thanks!
PM Sent.
All Ransom IT services in Sydney are protected via Black Lotus DDOS Mitigation. So far it's been pretty effective.
Personal experience, a medium sized botnet attack generating a lot of requests will make them automatically null route the IP for 6 hours, not the greatest thing.
Depends on the size, however if you're using UDP don't go with anything CNservers related.
However If you want, I can issue you a risk-free 3 Day trial period.
I really appreciate that but UDP traffic is a must. I rather not setup all my stuff and find out later that my players got disconnected.
Thank you anyways!
@K2Bytes - I agree OVH's DDOS protection is definitely one of the best. Most of these so called DDOS protections are junk. They claim insanely high amount of bandwidth and hide the number of packets per second they can filter.
I have seen OVH's DDOS protection personally and it works far better than most of them out there.
Yes but I have seen a lot of providers & companies specialized in DDOS protection spreading lies about OVH on WHT & other forums that it does not or it sucks. But when I challenge them to test theirs & OVH both, they just run away. I guess spreading lies is the only way they see of capturing clients.
If you're going for OVH don't go with so you start go OVH directly as the permanant migiration is there and you're going to need it.
Also you can try staminus or buyvm which uses staminus
Staminus is better than OVH
i'm actually thinking about trying voxility & staminus, if they don't work out i'll resort to OVH. i've seen alot of positive feedback about staminus so I have positive hopes on that1.
I would say OVH is better, staminus provides more of an outsourced protection & there could be delay to tunneling. OVH provides many times more protection for almost no extra cost. But yes Staminus is good if you're looking for small to medium range remote protection.
Outsourced? what do you mean exactly?
remote
Staminus is great, but they are geared to a different market than OVH and they are way more expensive (different business model). Voxility is on par with OVH.
Also, don't be cheated with network capacity, it's only one of the many things which matter on DDoS protection. Voxility is nice and has very big capacity, but they don't provide the best overall protection available.
Not sure if Voxility's DDOS protection capacity is as big as they claim but OVH has tanked 350+ Gbps attacks in the past, for example:
We see today lot of new DDoS attacks from Internet to our network. Type: NTP AMP Size: >350Gbps. No issue. VAC is great :)Same also confirmed by CloudFlare:

Somewhat ironically, the large French hosting provider OVH was one of the largest sources of our attack and also a victim of a large scale NTP amplification attack around the same time.On that quote CloudFlare was just (understandably) crying about OVH being the source of the attacks, not the destination.
also a victim of a large scale NTP amplification attack around the same time.I thought thats Ecatel, and Voxility
There is a reason for dropping UDP during certain UDP attacks and any DDOS protection experts should know about it. Guarantee no UDP drop is simply not possible if you are going to protect UDP services. If a provider guarantee UDP filtering, keep UDP services online during UDP attacks, that would simply be a lie.
Depends on the type of the attack. We don't always drop UDP during any UDP attack.
OP, if you are hosting a pure UDP service like "Source", you are going to be offline during a well crafted SPOOFED UDP attack with any provider. So it really doesn't matter who has the best protection. Just go with the most low cost and stable provider.
