Most DDoS attacks are volumetric. There isn't a way to defend against this other than simply having a huge pipe, or paying someone with a huge pipe to be in front of your site.
Non-volumetric attacks like SYN or HTTP floods can be mitigated with appropriate rate limiting or firewalling.
Some providers like OVH have decent network-level mitigation in place, but you're not gonna find that on a $5 VPS where they're more than happy to null route you to protect their network.
