Looking for a ddos protected webhosting in Europe. Can you recommend something? Was looking at ovh.com but they require you to pay for whole year and I'm not ready to throw ~160EUR and hope for the best.

You should just host wherever you want, and then use cloudflare as your nameserver

@KasperNS they suck because it takes few seconds to redirect to the website. I own gaming server projects and this redirect delay really puts gamers off.

A few seconds?
I use Cloudflare in front of a self hosted raspberry pi, It takes 40ms to connect.

@C0D4 For example: https://kissanime.ru/ You see it takes 5 seconds to check

@zemaitis that doesn't even load for me?

@zemaitis oh wow. This explains why it won't load for mez

@zemaitis ah you have it on full for the browser check - sorry needed to jump on vpn. i find medium is more then enough, if you are getting hit hard with ddos, you can always up it.

@C0D4 Oh so this browser check is not mandatory?

@zemaitis not on full. thats for when you're being hit hard. i have it on medium which only kicks in now and again for users instead of every visit.

@zemaitis
You might want to look at this.

You have a lot going on and there's a few things you can do to speed it up like your ad server call outs alone are costing you 1.5 seconds

I'm extremely experienced in hosting Garry's Mod servers who are notorious for having ddos attacks. I've used various hosts, and while I liked OVH for the price and customizability, NFO servers was the only one with reliable DDOS protection.

They actually use mitigation in a way that when one server gets ddos'd, it spreads the attack across hundreds of servers so that collectively, it affects them all by <1%. It was amazing tech
