An estimated 7,000 Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks occur DAILY, costing businesses millions of dollars and countless hours of downtime. Most businesses are not prepared when faced with a DDoS attack. Typical web hosts and network providers offer DDoS mitigation, but they are limited when it comes to large volumetric and application-layer attacks.
To combat this, HostDime now offers premium hardware-based DDoS monitoring and mitigation, backed by the market leader in network security, Arbor Networks.
That means clients on HostDime’s secure network will be among the most DDoS protected in the hosting industry. Yet another reason to choose HostDime for your hosting solutions.
How the Enterprise DDoS Protection Service Works
Most hosting providers offer reverse proxy DDoS detection; HostDime’s DDoS protection is different because it’s inline, or actually within the data center. Therefore end users notice little to no latency, even when active mitigation is taking place.
With reverse proxy mitigation, your traffic is exported to a third party, then re-routed back to your host after it’s been cleaned. HostDime, instead, takes both your legitimate and illegitimate traffic, and filters out the maliciousness, leaving only legitimate traffic flowing to and from your server. Once a server is placed behind HostDime’s DDoS protection hardware, it begins to learn “normal” traffic patterns so it can identity bad traffic in the future.
Long story short, you need HostDime’s DDoS protection service in your life if you are serious about peace of mind. Click here to get the ball rolling.
