DDoS attacks are more sophisticated and frequent than ever. Choosing hosting with effective DDoS protection can mean the difference between staying online and losing your business during an attack. This guide explains what to look for in DDoS-protected hosting.
Understanding Modern DDoS Attacks
Today's DDoS attacks can exceed 1 Tbps in volume, use reflection and amplification techniques, target application layers, and combine multiple vectors simultaneously. Your hosting provider's DDoS mitigation must handle all these attack types.
What to Look For
- Always-on protection: Mitigation should be active at all times, not just when attacks are detected
- Network capacity: The provider's network should have multiple Tbps of scrubbing capacity
- Layer 3/4/7 protection: Coverage across all network layers
- Low latency scrubbing: Mitigation should not add significant latency to legitimate traffic
- No bandwidth penalties: You should not be charged for attack traffic
