Always on. Always filtering. Never an extra cost.
Successful DDoS attacks can take websites, applications and whole servers offline. Ours don't get the chance: every service we provide sits behind always-on DDoS protection, with traffic monitored for anomalies around the clock. When an attack is detected, hostile traffic is automatically re-routed to our Attack Mitigation Farm and scrubbed, while your legitimate visitors carry on as if nothing happened.
- Enabled by default on every service
- Up to 200Gb/s mitigation
- Layer 7 protection
What happens when an attack hits
You don't do anything. The network does it all, in seconds, without a ticket, a phone call, or a moment of downtime.
Traffic across the whole network is monitored for anomalies 24/7/365. Attack patterns are recognised automatically, in real time, the moment they begin.
Hostile traffic is re-routed to our Attack Mitigation Farm, a dedicated filtering and scrubbing centre, away from the servers doing real work.
Legitimate visitors are separated from the attack and carried straight through, so your site stays up and your customers never notice a thing.

What a DDoS attack actually is
A distributed denial-of-service attack tries to make a server or network unavailable by drowning it in traffic, most commonly by firing enormous numbers of requests at it until resources or network capacity run out. Without protection in place, a server simply grinds to a halt and takes every site on it down too.
Our data centres defend against this with an in-house DDoS filtering and scrubbing centre providing up to 200Gb/s of incoming protection from Corero in the UK, and equivalent providers in our other hosting locations. The UK data centre adds Layer 7 protection on top, covering the sophisticated application-level attacks that traditional volumetric filtering can miss.
