There are rumors that it's really bad? Any experiences? -Anyway server is ddosed by angry kids ofc so I believe better host with a lot better ddos protection would prevent that, banning those ppl isn't helping cuz of IP changer stuff etc.. so I'm wondering what's a decent ddos size (GB) protection? Thank you a lot for answers, tips, etc

In the prime time of PR-RP over a year ago I dealt with attacks upwards of 70-80gbps, back early 2015 only hitting 100+ players not even one of the top 100 servers I still ended up receiving attacks up to 40-50gbps. If a attacker has the right equipment and botnet to back themselves up there is no telling how large scale the attack could be. For SA-MP you normally need at least 10gbps of protection nowadays to start off.

Far as OVH goes it really depends on the location for the quality of support. At The American OVH location tickets are normally responded in hours or less and you can call 24/7. The OVH Europe location support is only available Monday to Friday at business hours in their timezone and it is normally a good 2-3 business days for a response from a ticket. Support should not really be needed though, OVH's network never has any problems and unless your hardware crashes you shouldn't need support.

Incorrect, actual DDoS Protection would handle it no problem. This of course meaning the filters are designed correctly to handle the service that is being attacked.
