Dos attack

[Mikew]

Hi everyone,

I have been experiencing some Dos attack lately would like to know if anyone has faced the same issue and would appreciate some help on how to fix that?

Setup Cloudflare on your website and turn on DDOS protection. Google for explanation.

In addition to setting up a cloudflare account, find a web host that offers free dos protection.

Cloudflare is fantastic and it's easy to use and setup dos protection there. Plus it's very affordable, unlike a lot of the others.

Unless you pay lots of money, a normal host cannot protect you from a DDOS attack, even if they advertise it (unless they use a service like Cloudflare themselvers).

I had lots of headaches due to a DDOS attack a couple of years ago. I was so "clever" that I uploaded a backup to my Bluehost account, thinking that Bluehost will be able to handle that amount of traffic...
I ended up with also losing my Bluehost account and being unable to use any of the domains in that account on any other Bluehost account, so I had to move about 10 domains to a new webhost (in addition to solving the problem with the DDOS attack).

Anyway, as Samurai said, use Cloudflare and sleep well again.

Thanks to all for the information. I will be checking cloudflare.
I am currently with A2 but they don't seem to know what to do there to help so I am thinking about finding a better host first then set up cloudflare for all sites

If you went somewhere like Siteground they make it easy for you to implement Cloudflare
