I have an account that a couple of times a week gets overloaded by what I think is called a slow loris attack. Apachectl status shows all or almost all W's and all the sites stop responding. It takes down the whole server for 5-10 minutes until the traffic clears or until I go in and restart apache. I am preparing to move it to a new server with cloudlinux installed along with all the LVE stuff including the sql governor. My question is what I should do to prepare the new server for moving this account? Are there steps I can take to head this off before the move? The new server is much more powerful than the old but still concerned about these repeated attacks.
I am assuming that CL will prevent the other three accounts on the new server from lagging out even if this other account is hit but what can I do to ensure this is a good move overall? We are already using a paid version of Cloudflare. Also running CSF for a firewall.
