Want to get some ideas of the cost here

Estimates From the big boys only! DO NOT ICQ me, please use the email in my sig and email ballpark quotes and some costs associated with it.
gleem,

what part of the site is being attacked? where does the large bandwidth usage come from?
you could save a lot of money by only placing the attacked portion of your website on a ddos protected network, while serving the content from a less expensive host (because ddos protected transit is going to be very expensive). You need specialized hardware at the routing level to mitigate on-going ddos attacks and not have any effect on your site.
