An update from Linode about the recent DDoS attacks

I have no idea.

CloudFlare doesn't offer VPS instances. Google and Amazon are in a league of their own and, last I checked, don't offer the similar services at the same prices with the same level of support and same controls. Amazon might send you a nice bill at the end of the attack depending on what type it was.

DigitalOcean, as an example, routinely receives DDoS attacks and will just nullroute your VPS automatically until the attack ends.

Its a concern of mine with AWS, no downtime but a $30k for the day of fun bill. Got to tie up this loose end before I wake up broke one day.

There are VPS providers that offer DDoS protection in the 10-20Gbps range, but that is a piddle in the ocean these days.
