          Well I meant more for home based computing and not servers....but...some rather common sense advice would be to have an over provisioning of your bandwith so it can handle the initial burst on it....that will give your server techs the ability to get on it and start scrubbing without it being overwhelmed at 100% when they get to it.

          Another thing you can do is actually pick up the phone and call your host and ask them exactly what kind of plan they have in place for DDOS attacks. What the average time is on past attacks it took them to resolve. Expected downtimes from a generalized attack.. That way you don't have to completely panic the first time it happens. Find out exactly what the query load is for your stuff.

          Sorry I don't have more detailed answers. I'm not a network admin or tech. Thats a whole other area of the cookie...

                  Thanks for the answers. All good advice. We are using cloud services and expanding server capabilities.

                  Are there any good tools for tuning Microsoft OS? Say Windows 7. Back in the day they used to offer a tool that would fix corrupt files, clean registry, etc.
                  We use CCleaner now. Anything better?

                      Why is a Mac running OS X better than a Windows PC ? Other than the obvious.

                          I understand that by pushing the buttons on this thing in a specific order, I can get checks in the mail, even become a billionaire. Can you help me with that?

                              Ccleaner is a general tool I use just to clean stuff up as well. I wouldn't fool with registery cleaners tho unless you know what you are doing. Those aren't really 100% accurate and if you just blindly delete everything in the box that comes up....you'll more than likely fuck up your system.

                              To Fix Windows Update issues here is a very nice step by step guide in order of how to run them.

                              https://www.winhelp.us/reinstall-windows-update.html

                              To fix Windows issues with drivers...etc..corrupt files...run the System File Checker

                              1.) type CMD in the start button area search
                              2.) right click and run as admin
                              3.) type sfc /scannow

                              That will go through and verify the integrity of the windows files against its dlcache folder

                              To remove peksy startup items and residuals that you can't find in the msconfig utility, use Autoruns to remove them.

                                  Take your finger. Select the button you want to push. Press down gently, then release in an upward motion. Rinse and repeat if necessary.

                                          Because it gives you something to relate to and chat about why you are waiting in line at Starbucks with the other peoples whose batteries went to shit on their Iphones when they updated OsX.

                                          You can say something like. Yeah, I updated to that OS X # too on my mac and now my Itunes wont play my Beck albums anymore. The weird part is that my Mumfurd & Sons stuff still plays perfect.

                                              You can't go wrong with a good old fashioned Windows disk cleanup either after you run cc..

                                                  I can't tell my laptop from my etch-a-sketch. I shake them both to reboot.

                                                  Any help would be appreciated.

                                                          Select one of the items. Hit it with a hammer. If you cry like Nancy Kerrigan, that's your laptop. Good news, you still have the etch a sketch to rub your junk on.

They are never satisfied with what they have and always ending up building a new one after about a year. They are always looking to dump a rig that they put that kind of money into and recover a bit of it and are willing to part with it cheaper than it would cost you to build one yourself or buy one from a store. Not everybody can afford to buy a $1000-$4000 desktop and they know it..so you have room to barter them down a bit if they know they are going to get something back. Otherwise they end up sitting on a $2000 desktop nobody will buy.

                                                                              That and sometimes when they pull their ass off the games for a spell and actually get some pussy, they realize that having $2000 sitting in the living room doesn't pay for that bitch to eat at Olive Garden every night....
