Directed Denial of Service.
Basically it means that massive numbers of people are trying to access your website, thus overloading it. This is often done via bots. For a very small site with little traffic, a few hundred or thousand people trying to access it at the same time would be enough to jam it up. But for a major site that is accustomed to handling a lot of traffic, it would probably have to be an automated (bot) attack.
