Protect your VPS from DDoS attacks

A DDoS (distributed denial of service) attack is a type of cyber attack that sends a large volume of traffic to your site, from multiple sources. The goal is to overwhelm your server resources, effectively crashing your site, so real users and customers can’t access it.

This is a serious concern for every site owner, which is why Liquid Web offers basic DDoS protection on every VPS at no additional cost. We also offer advanced and premium levels of DDoS protection as add-ons.

DDoS-protected VPS FAQ

In addition to working with a hosting provider that offers robust DDoS protection, you can:

Use a WAF (web application firewall) to filter and block suspicious traffic.
Enable rate limiting to limit the number of requests a user can make in a specific time frame.
Use network and server monitoring tools to learn your normal traffic patterns. When it spikes sharply or is clocking above normal, you can take appropriate steps
Consider an intrusion detection system (IDS) and an intrusion protection system (IPS) for early attack detection.

The scale of DoS and DDoS attacks varies dramatically. The greater the attack, the harder it is to defend against. Liquid Web’s DDoS attack protection is sold in packages to allow for higher levels of protection for customers who need it and more affordable protection for customers who are less at risk.

If a DDoS attack is more serious than you planned for, the following steps are taken:

For detailed instructions, see Logging into Plesk for the first time.

Liquid Web will email to alert you that your site is under attack and exceeding the protection quota.
We’ll advise, to help mitigate the issue. If the attack continues or increases, we’ll explore options with you for increasing your level of security.

If the attack continues or increases, the following actions are available:

Upgrade to the next level of protection
Null-route your traffic so it doesn’t affect other users

Yes. A reverse proxy can help prevent DDoS attacks, because it hides the IP address of your server. This makes it harder for attackers to directly target it.

Liquid Web offers Plesk hosting add-ons for cloud or dedicated server hosting as well. See all our best Plesk hosting options or chat with an expert to decide which option is right for you.
