If you're in the market for a VPS with solid DDoS protection, a few providers come to mind that balance performance, security, and price well.

�� Recommendations based on experience:

Vultr (with DDoS Protection add-on) – Great global network, easy to scale, and their protection is decent for common attack vectors.

BuyVM – Offers free 3.4Tbps DDoS protection via Voxility. They're often underrated but very stable.

Hetzner Cloud + DDoS protection – Affordable plans, and while DDoS protection is optional, it’s strong once enabled.

OVH – Their Anti-DDoS GAME protection is one of the most aggressive, built specifically for gaming and high-risk apps.

�� Tip: Always confirm whether the DDoS protection is automatic and 24/7 or if it's reactive. Also ask whether bandwidth limits apply during an attack—some hosts silently throttle.

Let me know what your use case is (web hosting, gaming, APIs, etc.)—that can make a big difference in choosing the right provider.
