Description:	Denial of service attacks attempt to bring down the target website through a variety of hacking, social engineering and other means. Distributed denial of service attacks (or DDoS) attempt to overwhelm the target website or its provider's resources by flooding it with malicious requests. There are many vulnerabilities and mitigation points to think through, as described in the [https://digitaldefenders.org/digitalfirstaid/#section-ddos-mitigation DDoS mitigation] section of the Digital First Aid Kit. The [https://github.com/OpenInternet/MyWebsiteIsDown/blob/dev/MyWebsiteIsDown.md What to do when your website goes down] guide describes how to respond to such attacks and prevent their success in the future. There are also a number of DDoS mitigation and secure hosting providers ranging from large corporate run services like [https://cloudflare.com/galileo Cloudflare's Project Galileo] and [https://projectshield.withgoogle.com/public/#application-form Google's Project Shield] to smaller ethically run organisations including [https://www.qurium.org/contact/ Virtualroad], [https://greenhost.net/order/ Greenhost] and the purpose-built [https://deflect.ca Deflect].
