DDoS Protected Dedicated Servers

A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack sends malicious traffic to your server that looks like regular traffic and crashes your hosted web service by overwhelming your server.

DDoS attacks can take your website or web app out of service for days or months, until you stop the incoming harmful traffic. While your website is down, you will likely lose profit and valuable customers.

An easy way to protect your hosted services from DDoS attacks is to get a DDoS protected dedicated server.

DDoS attacks are often done for various reasons:

• Attack from your competition. There is always a chance that your competition sends a DDoS attack your way if your business is doing well.
• Getting a ransom. Hackers frequently use DDoS attacks to get a ransom. They wouldn’t stop the DDoS attack until you pay them a certain amount of money they request.
• Simply for fun. Hackers might simply want to have fun with DDoS attacks. They would find a website that is unprotected and send a DDoS attack towards it to entertain themselves.

DDoS protected dedicated servers use a combination of hardware and software to detect and block DDoS attacks.

When a DDoS attack comes your way, the dedicated server identifies the traffic as malicious and reroutes it from your hosted services.

Then, it analyzes the traffic and doesn’t let it pass through to your website if it is harmful. If it was a false positive, the traffic is allowed to pass through.
