Prometeus - DDOS protection
Prometeus now offering DDOS protection.
Until now we had no choice than null target ip in case of attacks and ask clients receiving more attacks to find another host for their service. Now most of you have a choice, for €9/month you can buy a DDOS protected IP. The limit of the protection, before the auto null, are 14Gbps or 2 millions pps. Null will last for an hour, after that the ip is automatically restored. iwStack clients can create instance with IP from the ddos protected network from the user interface. DDOS protection will be FREE until March of the next year, then each DDOS protected IP will be charged 0.0125 iwCredits per hour. Clients with other VPS services need to check for availability opening a ticket and if approved will receive a coupon code to use the service free for one month (€9/month after the first month). An IP change will be required and in some cases the migration from a server to another. http://prometeus.net/sito/DDOS-PROTECTION

That is the December news, not only DDOS protection, but always comes with some free stuff.
For another provider offering DDOS filtered IP, how big the attack until the filtered ip get nulled?

Great.
iwStack clients can get a free XEN VPS located in USA or India simply buying some additional credits before the end of the year. (iwCredit never expire).
Buy 30 iwCredits, get a XEN 128 vps (Dallas or Pune) free for one year
Buy 60 iwCredits, get a XEN 256 vps (Dallas or Pune) free for one year
Buy 100 iwCredits, get a XEN 512 vps (Dallas or Pune) free for one year
we have now several free slots for 10GB of space on our FTP server. If you need the free space and have any active vps service use the code FREE10 (the code can be used only one time per client)

yes, even if this month focus was on ddos protection, we tought it was a good idea to let iwstack clients have at hand a vps on different continent while we work on the iwstack expansion. :-)
I stumbled upon their offer 3 days ago and so far it worked flawless. Missing DDoS protection and their policy on incoming ddos were the only reasons I couldn't host with prometeus back then, now I'm back on the ship.
