OVH does VPS's and they have their own Anti-DDoS network setup that is pretty amazing: https://www.ovh.com/us/anti-ddos/
I have most OVH IP's blocked on my servers because I get too many hack attacks from VMs they are hosting for their customers.

OVH offers very comprehensive DDoS protection with all but the most budget servers: https://www.ovh.com/us/anti-ddos/
Comments from people seem to indicate their anti DDoS was "we blackhole you if you draw an attack". Has that changed?

What about DigitalOcean? Its pricing is comparable to Linode's, yet DigitalOcean is now the second largest web host in the world according to Netcraft. Do you still think that AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure offer better protection?

+1 for IP block DDOS'ing - last time I ran a Linode VM it was DDOS'd to smitheereens within half an hour of putting it up (and of course, without any notice that I was liable for overages...)
>(and of course, without any notice that I was liable for overages...) Inbound traffic does not count against your bandwidth quota, so if you were the target of a DoS attack, this would not result in overages. https://www.linode.com/pricing (Unless you were responding to all that traffic, that is.)
I would like to correlate the comments in this thread with past comments on every single article about AWS or GCE of the form "this is so expensive / complicated I run my boxes on Linode for half the price". DDoS protection is one of the things you pay for on the big clouds.
