This question titled 'DDoS and Shared Hosting' was closed as "too broad".
What should I change (e.g. what should I add, and/or what should I remove) in order to make this a question which you consider reasonable?

Limit yourself to one question. You have a bullet list of multiple questions. The question is too broad because it is asking too many things.
Your sub-question "Is there any commercially-available service..." is off-topic here. Questions that ask for third party resources, software, or services attract too much spam and self promotion. Take that one out for sure.

Thanks for your reply. How about the last bullet point, i.e. "Should I look for a different web host, or what: what must I do if I want better availability? Or should I tell my boss that this is already approximately as good as it gets, state of the art?" Is that OK if I remove the previous two bullet points, or is that still too broad?– ChrisWCommented Mar 11, 2015 at 15:52

That one is verging into opinion based territory. I'd stick with the "What level of service should I expect from a host when they suffer a DDoS attack?" You can add more to the question without asking so many questions. "My current host suffered a DDoS attack. My site suffered downtime because of it. I'm thinking about finding a new host because of this."– Stephen Ostermiller ModCommented Mar 11, 2015 at 16:00

I rewrote it. Is it still too broad? Should I delete option 2 altogether? I included option 2 because it seems to me theoretically more reliable than option 1 could ever be, but maybe it's useless if there's some reason why it's unfeasible? I don't know why it might be unfeasible but this comment suggests that it is not (or was not then) a preferred/easy/obvious solution.– ChrisWCommented Mar 11, 2015 at 17:49

It was still too broad. I edited it for you to make it comply with our guidelines and re-opened it. It no longer asks everything you were asking before. You could ask other questions if you still have problems.– Stephen Ostermiller ModCommented Mar 12, 2015 at 12:39
