Be careful, if a weird russian approaches you with a ransom request.
I had a guy approach me and asking $5000 via LR, when I said no he said he'd attack again, and generated a ddos. His ddos was different from what I had before, so I'd guess lots of people are seeing in bitcoin an opportunity to make money.
I strongly recommend against doing anything those guys request, and even replying may be a bad idea, just click "spam".

Thanks for the info. (Un)fortunately it will be long before we even have that much there. Still, we must do something about that, but I don't think I can afford paying for a dedicated server with DDoS protection. Any idea how much that would cost per month?
Try the VPS service from Diablo-D3 (ask him on IRC, he'll show you)
BitMarket is on a VPS already. I was thinking about a DS. Is mtgox on a DS?
Yes, from what I read it's on 4 Dedicated Servers and it's right now behind Black Lotus apparently.
Black Lotus prices start from 1000 dollars a month from what I read on their website.
I recommend if you are short on money to maybe sell some shares on the bitcoin stock exchange or start a bitcoin donation drive of some sort so you can get the money to keep the site up and running.
