OVH, Voxility, ddos-guard.net and many more.

Shit, even tiny providers like BuyVM offer good enough DDoS protection.

DDoS-protection is only part of it. You also need the ability to distinguish automated browsers from real ones, or you're going to have several full time jobs' worth of cleaning up spam comments from everything that even slightly resembles an input field.

Testcookie handles this just fine, Voxility and DDoS-guard can both offer the browser bot detection reverse proxy too.

Of course you could also just integrate a CAPTCHA service of your choice.
