Many hosts offer DDoS protection for forums (ex. gaming forums). GoDaddy is an excellent host, and have very powerful servers. Other websites can also be fine, but if your forums are prone to being DDoS'd, then you can be dropped as it is stressful on the host's servers.

Many hosts participate in a coordinated attack.
What you are describing is not a type of malware, but a DoS (Denial of Service) attack.
distributed denial-of-service attack or known as DDoS
To stay away from a DDoS attack, a company should implement multiple layers of defense. This includes using network firewalls, load balancers, and intrusion detection systems. Regular monitoring of traffic patterns helps identify unusual spikes early. It’s also important to have a DDoS response plan and collaborate with a reliable mitigation service. At SafeAeon, we’ve seen that companies that invest in proactive measures and simulate attack scenarios are better prepared to maintain service availability during such threats.

Because they are capable of conducting a very hard to prevent DDoS attack.
A Denial of Service attack (Abbreviated as DoS).
DDoS attacks can harm one's website in multiple ways. The DDoS protection system is able to act as an anti virus system for a website. It will protect one's business and data. It can recognize all data and files that can harm one's website.
DDoS stands for Distributed Denial of Service. It’s a type of cyberattack where multiple compromised devices are used together to flood a target system, network, or website with traffic, making it slow or unavailable to real users.
A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack is characterised by a sudden surge of traffic from multiple sources targeting a single server or network. This overwhelming traffic aims to exhaust system resources, making the service slow or unavailable. At SafeAeon, we often observe that these attacks are distributed, unpredictable, and capable of disrupting operations within minutes.
