It is too bad one cannot have certain web pages on one server using a separate software as well as a separate system network interface that also allows users to cross over to the other site once passing a set of certain tasks. That would help a lot at in essence keeping these DDoS or Dos attack away from the bulk of the site and won't tax the rest of the system that serves up pages etc. It would be sort of like a 'front porch' for the site. If they can't get through the door they can only destroy the front porch, but nothing inside.
I assume going forward we will be seeing a lot more of these sort of attacks. I am surprised there is not more offered to accommodate this new reality. I guess they figure if a page can tie into the larger site then so can a hacker so why work so hard and spend so much money on maintaining basically two systems, but at least it will make the attackers work harder to pull off an effective attack.

That's done all the time. Think bank, insurance company, or many places where you buy stuff online.
You authenticate yourself in some manner- user id/password and a secure connection is made to a different webserver.
This also helps to shield the confidential information from that which is publicly available.
But if they hammer the "front door" then nobody can get in.
