Drupal Developer Needed - Central Florida Area
We are a medium sized business who has a Drupal website, but no one in our company has Drupal-specific skills and have started coming across a few somewhat large issues.
I would like to speak with people regarding a job to fix some issues with our Drupal installation. Work would have to begin quickly, as some of these issues are time-sensitive.
My email address is mconnolly@iotrak.com and phone number is 407-598-1500 Ext. 104.
Thank you very much.

DDos attack solutions eCommerce Site
I am presently overseeing a site that was attacked by DDos.
The hosting compnay suggested turning on Cloud Flare which we did only to find out that with the SSL and eCommerce the site had an untrusted sign put on it.
I have turned CloudFlare off. Are there any modules that we can use to protect the site?
Presently we have Captcha on all the forms and this did not seem to prevent the attack.
Running Drupal7
Any input or reading assistance with this would be appreciated.
Thank you
