A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack is a type of cyberattack in which attackers overload a website with a massive number of simultaneous requests. As a result, the website becomes unavailable to legitimate users.

How a DDoS attack works:

• A hacker infects a large number of vulnerable computers with malware.
• These computers — known as “bots” — begin sending requests to the targeted website at the same time.
• The website cannot handle the traffic load and becomes unavailable.

How protection works

Special protection systems are used to analyze and filter incoming traffic. They automatically block suspicious or unusually large volumes of requests, preventing the attack from disrupting the website’s operation.

All CleanVDS servers are equipped with modern DDoS protection systems. This helps ensure the stable and uninterrupted operation of your website.
