Especially with the view that there are possibilities that ISPs get threatened and take hosted sites offline, discussing these solutions here is IMHO very on topic.
By discussing this here hosted sites will diversify over ISPs which will just lead to them becoming less of a target, as targetting them doesn't have the direct wanted effect anymore.
If you don't piss somebody or make them jealous they won't have a need to attack you either.
Yes. However, sometimes you don't have the choice. E.g. call-centers makes people angry.

Which might mean they cut your service as clearly you will be affecting also the availability of their other clients...
Depends which. Some are fair and able to deal with it, more or less. However, then you can probably sue them.
The fine-print probably takes care of it on their side.

SME can't really afford 20 servers. But at least, they can move the weakness a step ahead, they don't have to deal with the packets, hosters will if they pretend it's their job and use it as selling point ;)
Take 4 or 5 boxes spread out over various ISP, that would solve the problem already quite a bit. Especially when two of those are in the US.
