There are several key indicators that can help identify when your dedicated server is under a DoS attack. Firstly, there's an unusually high volume of traffic that may exceed the usual metrics. Secondly, there's a sharp drop in project performance and delays in responses. Thirdly, there's server unavailability or intermittent operation. Dedicated DDoS protected server can effectively handle such challenges.
Dedicated DDoS Protected Server
DDoS attack involves a type of cyber-level attacks where fraudsters take a series of actions to severely disrupt the stable operation of a web network or site. It is actively overloaded with a massive number of requests. The essence of such an attack lies in generating an extremely large volume of traffic, which instantly disrupts the functionality of the network or server, making it inaccessible to regular visitors. AlexHost is pleased to offer its clients the option of a dedicated DDoS protected server that will tirelessly protect your platform and project as a whole.
Dedicated DDoS protected server: hardware and software protection levels
AlexHost offers the best dedicated DDoS protected servers at affordable prices, providing quality hardware and software protection. What are the main differences between hardware and software protection?
Hardware protection against DDoS attacks involves the use of specialized equipment, including mitigators and dedicated hardware firewalls. Such systems easily and quickly detect attacks even at early stages and can instantly block dangerous traffic to prevent harm to your server. Hardware solutions often boast high capacity, ensuring processing of even large volumes of traffic without negatively impacting server speed. However, it’s important to understand that hardware protection requires specialized knowledge from the user for proper setup and ongoing maintenance.
Meanwhile, when partnering with AlexHost, you can expect high-quality software protection applied to dedicated server anti-DDoS. This involves the use of specialized software installed on the server or integrated with it. Software solutions also enable quick detection and blocking of attacks using traffic analytics. It’s important to note that software solutions for dedicated server anti-DDoS may be less resource-intensive, but they can influence the server’s performance and speed.
Depending on security requirements, financial considerations, and specific application needs, modern businesses can choose between software or hardware protection based on dedicated server anti-DDoS. It’s also possible to combine these solutions for maximum efficiency in enhancing protection against attacks.
Dedicated server anti DDoS: characteristic features of DDoS-level attacks
When talking about DDoS dedicated server supported by AlexHost, there are several key characteristics of such a technological solution for deploying various projects. It’s important to understand the properties of DDoS attacks practiced today to quickly identify and effectively combat them. The basic properties of such attacks include:
- Specific traffic volume. Typically, these attacks generate significant amounts of traffic, enough to overload any network resources.
- Variety of methods used. Attackers can employ various techniques to impact your DDoS dedicated server, but the most common are considered to be HTTP flood, SYN flood, and UDP flood.
- High-level masking. Modern attackers can use a variety of methods and tactics to hide and disguise their traffic, making it as close as possible to normal. This can complicate the detection of the attack and slow down the process of combating it.
To reliably protect your DDoS dedicated server from known attack algorithms, it’s crucial to employ a comprehensive set of effective mechanisms for their detection and subsequent prevention.
What is the unmetered DDoS protection?
Unmetered DDoS protection is a completely unlimited format of protection against any DDoS attacks. Unmetered DDoS protection is offered to AlexHost clients and provides effective defense for any web resource or server against all types of DDoS attacks known today, without limiting the volume of processed traffic. In other words, even when your website suddenly faces a serious massive attack, the algorithms will continue to function reliably as a shield to protect your server and the information hosted on it.
Unmetered DDoS protection guarantees server availability without additional financial costs for each gigabyte of traffic consumed during an attack. As a result, every client can be 100% confident in the stability of their application or website within the framework of active ongoing DDoS attacks.
With unmetered DDoS protection from reputable providers like AlexHost, clients are shielded from these financial uncertainties. The service operates on a flat-rate pricing model, meaning clients pay a consistent fee regardless of the volume of attack traffic their servers handle. This predictability allows businesses to budget more effectively and eliminates the fear of escalating costs during an attack.
