Secure Hosting
Working daily with websites and web application development, we used to deal also daily with different hosting companies and lot of different issues such DDOS attack, spam, spoof, ... etc.
Every business owner, or simply website owner, is concerned by these issues but the problem differ from a hosting company to another how they deal with DDOS attack for example or SYN attacks.
I was talking with a friend this morning about the possible solutions with minimum cost, and I told him the only solution is to protect at the hardware level with a good firewall, good router configuration, you should be able to avoid such attacks. Otherwise keep dreaming...
The problem here is that such protection cost a lot and many hosting providers keep it as option, then make you pay an huge amount when you ask for this protection the case of my friend who was asked to pay $3'000 per month for all his servers.
Today I heard jQuery website suffered from a DDOS attack the weekend and their hosting provider asked them to find another hosting company, and that's not everything ! Such stories happen almost daily to more and more websites and anyone could be victim.
In my opinion a wise decision should be taken by industry constructors and hosting providers to make these solutions available at more accessible prices, or try to find architecture which can help to establish a shared protection for a low cost.
And if your hosting provider don't protect you, he don't protect his business also, so it's better to switch for something else especially that many hosting companies are more professional at this level.
