DDOS protected VPS hosting

DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) is attack when thousands of infected computers simultaneously send requests to your server, overloading its resources and making it unavailable to real users. DDoS protection works in multiple layers: first network attacks (volumetric attacks) filtered at data center level, blocking junk traffic before your server. Then protocol attacks analyzed (SYN flood, UDP flood) using deep packet inspection. At final level application-layer attacks filtered (HTTP flood, Slowloris) using Web Application Firewall (WAF). Machine learning systems analyze traffic patterns and automatically block anomalous activity within seconds after attack start.

Our protection infrastructure can deflect DDoS attacks up to 1 Tbps (1000 Gbps) for volumetric attacks at network level. This significantly exceeds power of most real attacks—average DDoS attack is 10-50 Gbps. For protocol-layer attacks (TCP SYN flood, UDP amplification) system processes up to 300 million packets per second. Application-layer protection (HTTP/HTTPS floods) handles millions of requests per second, analyzing each for legitimacy. Protection scales automatically depending on attack power—stronger attack means more filtering nodes connect for neutralization.

Properly configured DDoS protection practically doesn't affect speed for legitimate users. Modern filtering systems add only 1-5 milliseconds latency for request processing—imperceptible to users. In normal operation mode (when no attack) all traffic passes through light inspection without significant load. When attack detected deep analysis activates, which may add 10-20 ms latency, but still better than complete server unavailability. WAF filters for application-layer attack protection more thoroughly check HTTP requests, but static content caching compensates these delays. Ultimately users get stable access even during attack.

Basic protection against volumetric and protocol-layer attacks works automatically without additional setup—enabled at data center network infrastructure level. System automatically detects anomalous traffic and starts filtering within 10-30 seconds. However for maximum effectiveness, especially against application-layer attacks, recommended to configure WAF rules for your application specifics. This includes trusted IP whitelists, rate limiting setup, API endpoint rules, and form protection from automated bots. Our technical support helps with initial setup and rule optimization for your project.

If your server is under DDoS attack, protection activates automatically within 10-60 seconds after anomalous traffic detection. You don't need emergency actions—monitoring systems already working. However can expedite process by contacting support through ticket system or chat indicating problem. Specialists will analyze attack nature and apply specialized filtering rules. After attack ends (usually last from several minutes to several hours) you receive report with details: attack type, peak power, blocked requests count, attack sources. This information helps better prepare for potential future attacks.
