DDOS attack on my site hosted on Namecheap

So I recently transferred my Shopify store over to Wordpress Woocommerce and decided to host with Namecheap. I am on their Business SSD plan.

Today, we were hit with a DDOS attack and Namecheap has blocked all traffic while the attack takes place. Prior to the attack, my site has been having a lot of downtime because of error 508 - resource limit reached.

I was told to find a DDOS protection service and found Cloudflare but wondering if their $20/month plan is sufficient. $200 a month is quite a stretch for me.

My website gets about 1000 visitors daily.

Any advice is much appreciated.

you can go with free cloudflare ssl since traffic lessthan 2k - try their I am under attack option to safeguard. or you can you can go with $20/m.

I would personally use hostgator...

Get hosting with ddos protection to avoid extra cost. Check BHW marketplace.

HostGator? Why so? What difference from Namecheap?

Didn't know that Namecheap doesn't have a proper DDOS protection.
DDOS protection should be included with your hosting plan.
Also seems that the plan you are using don't cover the resource needs .

Cloudflare DDOS protection is ok and will filter basic floods.

Let us know if you need help with this.

host gator aint so well its owned by one big company and there support sucks best bet it to find a host with dos protection already available. shoot me a PM maybe I can get you a plan with us
