Thanks for the detailed explanation. As my understanding about ddos protection goes. It is mainly needing the capacity to redirect bad traffic and let normal trafic true. not outright block it. So having that capacity in front of a 1gb connection shouldn't be a issue?
Also I can't really put all my services on a VPS that cost would be way to high. A second option I have been thinking about is moving my servers in to a data center. But I like to be able to easily access them. My uptime is over 95% at home already due to having most things on a UPS (and a large home battery with more then enough solar) backups can still be improved which I do have planned. Multiple backups are already in place though.
