Unless i have no choice i will never use OVH. :<
http://news.softpedia.com/news/2-64-Gbps-Average-Size-of-DDOS-Attacks-Launched-in-2013-391974.shtml
You get your facts from random sites? i rather speak out of experience but okay..
stop posting if you have nothing valueable to add that isn't offtopic, thank you.
I got enough options for now, this thread remains open incase someone else knows a good deal.
My last comment in this thread
1.That average DDOS size attack data is from Arbor networks, if you think they are some random company then that is just your personal opinion
2.I have been hosting several game servers for a community of 1000+ people for many years now & 10000+ people play on our servers daily & from my own experience average DDOS attack size really is about 2 Gbps.
In last, I will highly recommend OVH just because all our servers have an uptime of about 6 months despite being under big attacks daily just because of the superb DDOS protection which OVH provide.
When your servers start getting popular, attacks will become more frequent & bigger and no one would be able to save you from downtimes due to nullroute unless you have good enough DDOS protection.Just my 2 cents, have a good night & best of luck with this server that you are going to get.
Sorry, if I have annoyed you as I posted all my comments in this thread with good intentions only
Thats great. Thanks alot.
If you can get a dedicated server in chicago, you might be able to talk to @Alex_LiquidHost about getting a ddos protected vps and setting up a GRE tunnel
I read in a recent thread that you opened that you're having a dedicated server in Chicago, what provider did you got it from?
Vapornode. @fizzyjoe908 might be able to sort something out for you
@Alex_LiquidHost thanks.
To all those arguing about the costs and OVH I will add my 2c. Some people may know we do offer them as a cheap location, but only on multihomed services. Many people request that we offer them on singlehomed services and we don't for one reason, their mitigation while voluminous is most likely time and quality limited. It makes no sense from a business point of view to mitigate a very costly attack forever for a client paying <$100/m a nullroute or less than optimal mitigation will most likely result.
Additionally as their resources are shared with no guaranteed amount or quality they are totally within their rights to choose not to mitigate a specific flood. That is the difference between them and the big players (Black Lotus, CNServers, Voxility, etc) and hence why they charge so little comparatively.
@Mark_R
I just saw this in another thread about VPSs in Voxility. This providers happens to have something related I think. http://ixam-hosting.com/cart.php?gid=42
hosteasy.eu it is also good
If you go for X4B make sure you won't select a location with CNServers filtering, if you want to protect UDP services, since they just drop udp when an attack is incoming. Same for BuyVM LV and RamNode Seattle.
Do you know if InterNap/nfoservers does this too?
What I've done at this point: I have a dedi in chicago, and I bought a vps with a decent amount of DDoS protected BW in chicago from @alex_liquidhost. I then setup a GRE tunnel through the vps to the dedi, and the dedi is now ddos protected with minimal ping increase. The DDoS filtering for liquidhost is done by sharktech iirc (Don't quote me on this, i could be wrong)
@Mark_R
I don't know, I just know cnservers do this.
I have 4 VPS' with NFOServers and while they do mitigate most attacks I see (small, gaming community related BS), they will not hesitate to nullroute you if you get attacked often enough or with anything large.
Internap doesn't offer anything similar directly -- nor would I expect them to do cheap mitigation, to be completely honest.
http://www.internap.com/business-internet-connectivity-services/managed-security-services/#ddos they do. You just have to pay for it. $$$$$$$$
I highly doubt you will find a dedicated server WITH DDOS protection for under $90-100. You'll be lucky to get DDOS protection for the cost of your entire budget.
NFO says they can fairly easily mitigate a 10Gbit or lower DDOS. Here is an article explaining how they deal with DDOS'. nfoservers.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=4931
My budget turned out to be a few bucks too low. In the end i contacted someone who usually hooks me up with servers and other set ups i need, he got me a dedicated vmware based VPS on a seflow.it dedicated server and he linked a nfoservers ddos protected server to it through GRE Tunneling, now i got a budget ddos protected server that has 800mbit of network speed, this is very good for just $34.
I'm very satisfied with its performance right now and i tried taking it down myself with a DDoS and it didn't lag at all, my search did end here but this thread will remain open for more suggestions.
Thank you all for providing me with good suggestions and offers.

I'm working on moving my GRE tunnel to NFO. Even though they've said before that they don't want to be used 'as a ddos mitigation host', they give you alot of very good BW, and they can easily protect something like 3Gb/s
I stand corrected, then.
However, yeah -- expensive as all hell; classic internap style is exactly that.
@mark_r curious - what's the specs of the VPS on the seflow.it dedi? public offer or private?
2GB Ram
2GB Swap
40+GB HDD
1 CPU 3.3 GHZ
1.5 TB Clean Traffic
full 1gbit port burst, no limits.
access to the vps through VMWARE VSphere Client.
How much was that?
with the DDoS protection (tunnel) included $34 without around $20.
Pretty good; I think I will stick with nfo for the protection though and my dedi, since I got a good deal w/ the dedi
