While Google's business isn't DDoS mitigation, we do see plenty of attacks
on user content we host (Google Hosted Services backed by Blogger, App
Engine, or other properties) and it's generally not a problem (thinking
back over the past few years I can't remember ever terminating a victim).
 Happy to host more victims, as the attacks provide good (if unplanned)
load tests. ;)  Send me an email if you want to discuss special needs, and
I'll let you know how we might be able to help.
