How Does a DDoS attack Work?
Essentially, a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack involves somebody intentially overloading your website with traffic which causes the server to shut down.
A website is typically designed for 10, even 100 users per second, but a DDoS attack can be in the region of thousands or even ten’s of thousands of requests.
This takes up all of the server resources and causes everything to come to a grinding halt.
How Can We Protect You?
We can protect you in a number of ways, depending on whether we are integrating DDoS protection into your existing hosting infrastructure, or if you already host with us, in which case you will already be largely protected.
- Intelligent Hardware
- Website / Application Security
- Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)
- Web Application Firewalls (WAFs)
