Hey,
I am having some trouble at the moment trying to find a decent cheap host that can keep my forum community online.
Unfortunately you get the odd troll / hater that finds it amusing to ddos the site.
I currently have a VPS with ovh.co.uk at the moment and their service is extremely poor.
My website has been dossed offline for a long time now.. This past week has been too much and they have not even bothered to deal with the issue.
current node speed is 100mbps which I believe would be pretty easy to take down..
They are using botnet tools like penalty stresser which they upload to a server and sell logins to people for $10
So they can then boot any website they want. Unfortunately we are a victim of this. They are using a SSYN flood attack which produces me with dst cache overflow error.
I can't even log into my KVM to figure out the magnitude to know what I need to actually upgrade to.. I tried contacting support to find out.
They also will not tell me, they don't have access to that information, will pass to engineers.. What kind of support is that lol.
I actually have the guys email address both of them who sells the logins to the penalty stresses and used to have the links to some of the sites he used to boot websites from, but they have since been moved.
He selling these logins to kids, why use it to take down websites and also boot people off their broadband connections... Its pathetic and there is literally nothing that can be done about it
I only have a small forum I am looking for something decent for around £30-40 a month.
Reason I need a VPS is because we use the IP address for our playstations and you need a VPS or a dedicated server for this.
As you need full DNS control in bind or what ever software you wanna use to resolve domain names to your IP of choosing.
I don't believe this is possible with Shared hosting.. Plus they limit all your resources and we love power to power our talkbox which is great on resources but shared hosts complain so we don't wanna bother with them.
Any help with this would be amazing.. I am stuck for answers.. Google throws me a million different hosts with loads of different prices.. I dunno where to go now..
Thanks for reading!
