Any suggestions of DDoS protection service provider
I run a website on the Linode server, OS is centos. I also install fail2ban service on it, but I think that can't stop the DDoS attack to the website. Could anyone suggest a DDoS service provider? And how to use it on the Linode server? Thanks in advance!

While fail2ban is a great tool for preventing unauthorized access to your Linode, you're right that it won't do much in the way of preventing a DDoS attack.
For DDoS mitigation, there are a number of options available. You'll want to consider your particular use case when choosing a service.
For example, Cloudflare offers a free tier that may handle all your needs if you run a relatively small-scale site. If you are handling high amounts of traffic, need a Website Application Firewall, or would like more in-depth analytics then you will need to utilize a paid service.
I'll list a few recommendations here and let others weigh in with their thoughts and experiences.
