 * Sorry if it’s in your docs but not quite clear, what services/features do you
   offer to protect against DDOS attacks?
 * Thanks.

 * Our firewall is pretty sweet and helps prevent problems from DDOS attacks.
    We
   go into detail about it over here: [http://docs.wordfence.com/en/Wordfence_options#Firewall_Rules](http://docs.wordfence.com/en/Wordfence_options#Firewall_Rules)
   We have several settings there that let you decide how much traffic for an IP
   is too much. You can outright block the traffic after a certain number of hits
   in a minute or, if you are feeling charitable, you can choose to throttle it 
   which slows the request down. I used a combination of both on the production 
   sites I have managed.
