Is there anyway you guys offer DDOS Protection? My dedicated server was http attacked today and couldnt be accesed via http for like 15-20 minutes. I installed APF and a couple other software things to help, but im wondering if there is anything you guys offer for an extra cost?

Can someone explain in detail, how this DDos attack is done on a website?

DDOS stands for Distributed Denial of Service it is an latest version of DOS- Denial of service attack. In this DDos attack many compromised systems which are infected with a virus are used to target a single system causing a DDos attack.
