If ou need a protected server at the usa, then take Nick ones (Vortex servers). They are protected. Otherwise make a test for free with the one i did find (with the help of possessed).They are really high speed ones (780 Gb network attached)
Only the ones I set up (10 servers) are behind some kind of protection, I do Run them by my self using our vps (hosted by Nick), no server ordered through VortexServers has ddos protection (not that I have seen them been sold as ddos protected). In this case you have to check with them if there's some kind of ddos protection available for regular GAME servers.
Nick hosts our TS3 Server, AAO25.com website and Auth server, that's why donations goes to him, because the main goal of donations are to pay for hosting costs, costs that Sergio have paid alone sometimes back when we used EUK host. Nick may not wan't/need the money BUT it is the right thing to do, forwarding it to him, I'm almost sure donations aren't enough to pay for it all, so no one can say he makes profit of it...
