What is DDoS protection?

DDoS protection is the filtering layer a provider places between the internet and your server, so that a flood of malicious traffic is absorbed before it reaches your site. It matters most for shops, games and anything taking payments, because an attack costs as well as interrupts. Every provider listed here says it offers DDoS protection, including 1Gbits, 3v-Hosting, AceCloud, AEserver and Aeza. Ask what the mitigation limit is and how an attack is confirmed before you rely on it for a launch.
