this is the first of any downtime i've experienced with their service.  they
were extremely quick to get on top the problem and try to counter it.
unfortunately, a ddos attack can be difficult to get around.

if you can't afford any downtime then any amount you might pay would be
insignificant.  if, however, as you say the money does matter then maybe
you'll need to adjust your expectations alittle.

a possible solution would be to use several of the low-cost/no-cost dns
services out there simultaneously.  use one as your primary and another as
your secondary.  then your chances of having problems like this are
minimized.
