DDoS Protection
Always-on DDoS protection for game servers and infrastructure, with automatic mitigation, real-time detection, and coverage across Layers 3 to 7.
Zero configuration required. Your infrastructure is protected from day one with always-active DDoS mitigation
AI-powered threat detection identifies and mitigates attacks in under 1 millisecond. No manual intervention needed
Protection for game servers and infrastructure: SYN floods, HTTP floods, DNS amplification, query-based attacks, and more
What DDoS protection is included with NovaCloud-Hosting services?
Every NovaCloud-Hosting service includes always-on DDoS protection at no additional cost, with more than 5 Tbps mitigation capacity and sub-millisecond attack detection. The protection covers VPS, game servers, dedicated servers, web hosting, and other eligible services so workloads remain protected during network attacks.
The service uses multi-layer L3, L4, and L7 protection with 24/7 monitoring. For services in Frankfurt and Amsterdam, PletX provides universal protection with automatic port learning, game filters, and query proxies. SmartMitigate provides IP-transit-exclusive protection in Frankfurt with predefined filters, low-latency routing, and Cloudflare Magic Transit volumetric protection. Mitigation capacity and filter selection do not replace secure server configuration, application-level safeguards, or backups. Review the current product and network details before deployment, especially if your workload uses custom ports or needs a specific transit configuration. Confirm details before routing production traffic. Explore IP transit protection options.
