thanks for the suggestion! we're using singlehop ... definitely not a budget hosting provider. these requests have been ongoing since yesterday morning (~36 hours). we looked at cloudflare earlier today. do you have experience with them? does the solution really work?

Cloudflare's plans that include DDoS protection are as good or better than typical hosting resellers. May not know enough about your site to make the decisions a good datacenter team could though. On the up-side Cloudflare really is there 24/7.

Unfortunately the advanced DDoS support is only in their upper $$ plans. Might be worth it to keep your site revenue going though.

No personal experience with deploying Cloudflare, but they're pretty widely used (including by the very site you're on right now), so if you're really having urgent issues, I'd definitely give them a call.
