Blogs are becoming popular marketing tools, so its good to make sure security measures are thrown in to ensure it does not get drown in DDOS Attacks.
Cybersecurity analyst Richard Stiennon had some ideas on how to minimize damage from these types of attacks on his own blog:
Everyone who values their publishing platform should start to investigate defenses now rather than after becoming a victim. Things you can do:
1. Host on a robust platform with up to date patches.
2. Have redundant load balanced servers.
3. Negotiate higher burstable bandwidth from your ISP/hosting provider.
4. Invest in DDoS defenses. TopLayer and Arbor Networks are two possibilities. Prolexic offers a managed service.
5. Use a web application firewall.
