DDoS Protection
We protect against all types of DDoS attacks; from complex layer 7 attacks, all the way to large volumetric floods. Our DDoS protection services can protect your website from DDoS attacks as high as 250Gbps!
We can provide enough protection to withstand up to 250Gbps of attack traffic.
If the attack on your website or server exceeds your protection level we will not immediately null route your website. If the attack fluctuates above your plan level temporarily you may not have to upgrade. But, if you are targeted with a sustained attack that is above your plan level we will have to ask you to upgrade.
If you are not enrolled in a DDoS protection plan we may null route your website for 24 hours or until the attack subsides. If your website continues to be targeted you would need to upgrade to a plan that includes protection.
Dedicated servers come with 2Gbps of free DDoS protection.
You can host with us or we can protect your website without you having to switch hosts. Our remote DDoS protection service allows us to protect your website from DDoS attacks through a simple DNS change.
