Implement logic for DDOS protected domains
As a hosting company we should have an option to give customers ddos protection.
The only implementation that works great is taking a domain, secure it with ddos protection service and generate customers a subdomain under this domain.
Lets say, example.com is protected under ddos protection software.
A customer clicks on "add domain" and if we blocked the option to add any domains, there will be only generated a subdomain under example.com, EG: website1223153.example.com
This subdomain would be protected by a ddos protection service.
The customer can create a CNAME to website1223153.example.com in order to connect his domain to the website that hosted on website1223153.example.com.
This is how many companies work with custom control panels.
We should have this option in Plesk in order to be assured that we can protect domains from DDOS attacks.

Effective DDoS protection can only be done by hardware solutions that are installed between Internet and server. Traffic directed to the server must be analyzed, and in case of DDoS it must be blocked before it reaches the server, because bandwith of NICs and CPU power will always be too small to cope with attacks. Once an attack reaches the server it is "too late". For that reason we suggest speaking with your data center instead if they can provide a suitable router before your server or maybe you can check a well-known cloud service through which traffic to the host and domains hosted on that host is routed.
