Absolutely RiJaKr, I am genuinely concerned though that Draul has lost money through this. I hope it was not too much, as for being a jerk yea like most I can be at times! As anyone that really knows me can tell you though I certainly do not think I know everything and certainly not about network security!
If anyone is interested I can provide some details of hosting that will not kick you out because of DDOS attack, instead they will actively work to counter any such attack. It may be a bit pricey though normally we pay £90 per month but that does not include the server. It would be more economical if a bunch of you got together. That is a tier 2 DC and fitting something like a second hand watchguard box could help stop future attacks, as ignoring any DNS requests bigger than say 600b.
Anyway peace to all....
