It means Distributed Denial of Service, which is an attack against a server. When someone does this, the victim's server is overloaded with data packets, which basically means that it sends so much stuff to the server that it is unable to handle it and it crashes. Of course, there is DDoS protection, but it costs money. It's very unlikely that you'll be hit with a DDoS attack, though, it can happen. In the United States it is recognized as a federal crime to attack a server or personal network by DDoSing it.
"Distributed Denial of Service
the intentional paralyzing of a computer network by flooding it with data sent simultaneously from many individual computers."
