Best I would suggest would be simply to rehost with another host, ask them how they deal with DDoS attacks, if they just say "null route" move on to the next one.

It doesn't matter which host you choose tho (exception being something like Prolexic, they charge a LOT but can handle multi-gigabit DDoS without breaking sweat, allegedly.), a DDoS attack can't be prevented, it can only ever be mitigated once it has begun so in Foots' defense his ads are 100% truthful, so you should base your choice of new host on their answers to your DDoS questions.
