Well it does depend. Many home hosted servers might be copying other servers or trying to steal other members from different communities. These home hosted servers are the liable for a DDoS attack.

On Topic: There isn't really a lot you can do unless you are willing to spend some money. Depending on what operating system you are using. If you are using Linux then you could probably null route the IP address that is DDoS'ing you but that is quite hard work. You could buy a Cisco Firewall and set it up so that if you get large ammounts of traffic from one IP address it blocks in.

My advice is just to host your server and then if you get a problem then move it to a profesional hosting company that would be able to deal with DDoS attacks more easily.
