DDoS Attacks will automatically end after some in-game hours.

That's normal :)

As I said random events like DDoS Attacks and Viral Boosts automatically end after some time :)

even if game is paused?

I'll keep an eye open if there could be some very weird bug. DDOS attacks run for 8 hours, so it might just have been good timing :)

How does one manage a DDos attack so the servers don’t go critical?

You can't stop the attack itself, but you can make sure you have enough power to not care about it.

Ok, thanks!

No matter how much power I add to it, with the Fusion Heat Transformer, and Controllers, the temperatures don't change, the servers are always overloaded by 30000%. Something is very bugged.

You're doing it wrong. You want to set a rule to your controller for DDOS at like 125%, any more than that they will turn yellow, or worse orange. If they change color like that then you have your overclock rule setting way to high. I found with transfuse servers 125% (give or take 1 or 2%) is perfect. Fill your room with these racks duplicated and linked to the controller. I never have a problem with my servers even during 3 DDOS attacks they remain under 12% server usage (with 7 active websites going as well). Don't forget a few things, the coolers I have surrounding my whole host room on the outside perimeter facing inwards. And in the large racks there is room for 2 full transfusion servers inside, for the extra space you need to have cooling racks. Don't bother putting in smaller web servers on the racks to fill the gaps, as it is they are already warmer than usual so the cooling racks will keep them green. Besides that, one transfusion server alone is like 6 full racks of the smaller ones so it's pointless anyways.

You actually can stop a DDOS attack now by either upscaling your server farm to deal with it (early in the game when it is cheap) or later research the DDOS protection... thingy.

It costs lot of resources to get it up to 100% though, it requires 4 people: a researcher, a fully trained lead dev, a dev and a designer to built.

Or if you have money, you can hire an outsourcing specialist (or 5) and tell everyone that you are purchasing the parts for it and keep em coming in. But you have to do this for all websites you develop, which can be expensive if you create them and sell them off quite often.

this might as well be the worst game to look support for... i get a bunch of tips on how to start your own company when i search the net for stuff... so im not sure even where to turn... but since this topic is already about special events like ddos... i was wondering... what does going viral do? does it generate extra users or what?

Yes, it helps you pick up more new users faster.
