If ddos attack occurs, we will have to null route the IP again.Since, this is a self managed server, unfortunately you will be responsible for managing security in your server.Please see our AUP for below regarding dos:12.2.4. Denial of Service
Under no circumstances may SI's systems be used to gain access or deny access to a system or attempt to gain or attempt to deny access to a system without the permission of the system's owners (or rightful users).
A Denial of Service (DoS) attack is designed to disproportionately consume the resources of a system in order to reduce its ability to serve its function. Under no circumstances may SI's network be used in DoS attacks.
Abnormal traffic shapes may cause detrimental effects to other users and/or the network, and, in extreme cases, may have DoS attack-like effects.
12.2.5. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of access codes, authorization codes, and passwords.With that being said, if you want security audits done on your server we can do for 8 support credit or OS hardening services are also offered by our PSD department.It can also be that server is hacked or it is running an an outdated and un-patched OS.

Superb Hosting writes:The DDOS received affected other servers. When our routers are inundated with this much data, normal traffic destined for other servers may be dropped, which is unacceptable. The DDOS can be received or transmitted and in this case it was received by your server. There is very little that can be done to mitigate attacks like this without using a third party DDOS mitigation service.

Superb Hosting writes:Yes, your server was the target of a DDOS. I am uncertain as to why it was suggested to have a security audit. You are correct in saying that there is very little that can be done for a DDOS. It is uncommon for us to have a DDOS, maybe 3 times a year some server or another falls victim within our company. Generally, the DDOS is a result of someone getting angry enough about some content on a site and they want it shut down for a laugh.
