One of friend's site just had a DDOS attack that has caused huge loss of data on the site. How can one prevent a site from experiencing a DDOS attack? Is it something that a site owner can't really prevent?
How do you prevent a DDOS attack on a site?

I do not have a site of my own for now but i believe it is possible to prevent a DDOS attack on one's site by regularly monitoring traffic patterns in order to detect a potential DDOS attack.
I don't really think that it is possible to prevent a DDOS attack on your site. The best thing is to schedule automatic daily backups in case it happens.

When I experienced DDoS on my site I started using Cloudfare services.
I think if traffic is monitored properly with good tools, there could be an alert of unusual traffic that can easily lead to a DDOS attack so you could block such traffic.
