DDoS protected VPS: server protection that filters large attacks

The DDoS protection option is $1.68 per month per server. This amount is added to the server's monthly price, and the combined monthly total appears right away in the summary on the right of the create page. The price is the same regardless of server size, so just count the servers to protect.

It filters large traffic attacks aimed at your server's public IP before they reach the server. Attacks that flood the line to keep legitimate users out are handled up front, helping your sites and game servers keep accepting legitimate connections even while an attack continues. Used with a firewall inside the server, even small connection attempts are blocked in several layers.

After choosing a region, size and operating system on the create page, click DDoS protection in the options section. The monthly total with the DDoS protection fee added appears in the summary on the right, and when you click Create, the server is prepared with protection applied. DDoS protection is an option chosen when creating a server, so turn it on from the start for public services.

DDoS protection is an option chosen when creating a server, so the fastest way to add protection to your current server is to create a new server with DDoS protection on and move your service. If you have questions about the steps, ask on the support page after your first payment. We will guide you to the method that fits your service. The new server is ready within minutes, so the move is short.

No, the server's public IP address stays the same. Protection applies directly to the server address, so there is no need to change DNS or tell customers a new address. For game servers, players connect at the address they always used; for websites, domain settings stay as they are. There are no new settings to learn, so you run as usual from the day protection is on.

It is best to have a firewall as well. DDoS protection filters large attacks in front of the server, while the firewall decides which ports are open inside the server. Open only the ports your service needs and use SSH key login, and together with DDoS protection your server is protected in several layers. The firewall setup steps are in the guides.

Yes, game servers are one of the best fits for DDoS protection, because their connection addresses are public and they are attacked often. Choose DDoS protection together with a dedicated CPU VPS with steady performance to reduce drops and run reliably even at peak times. Add a firewall that opens only your game ports and you are even better protected.

It is paid together with the first invoice when you create the server, then renews automatically at the same amount when you pay the renewal invoice. The server and DDoS protection share one billing date, so there is no separate date to track. When you delete a server, its DDoS protection fee ends too. Check the next billing date and the monthly price including options anytime in the control panel.

If the invoice is not paid by the due date, the server is suspended, and you can restart it by paying the renewal invoice within 3 days. After 3 days the server and its data are deleted, so if you run a public service it is safest to renew before the due date. Pay within 3 days of the suspension and you restart the server and carry on as before.

It is paid by invoice together with the server fee. When a refund is needed it goes to your account credit. You sign up with a single account, and you can create up to {max-servers} servers per account. Add DDoS protection only to the servers that need it.
