What to watch for

KVM Technology

The factors that contribute to business vulnerability to DDoS attacks are:

Weak website security

Websites with security vulnerabilities are easier for attackers to identify through automated scanning tools. And worse, if a website has security flaws that allow attackers to gain access, those compromised systems can be added to botnets that could be used to launch DDoS attacks against other targets.

Lack of DDoS protection

If businesses don't opt for adequate DDoS protection measures, they will be vulnerable to hackers, who are looking for openings in the server infrastructure, authentication methods, and more. Poor security typically includes inadequate monitoring, making it harder to detect the early signs of a DDoS attack.

Limited network capacity

Small and medium-sized businesses may have limited network capacity. This lack of resources to handle the massive influx of malicious traffic makes businesses more susceptible to DDoS attacks. Weak security setups often lack proper rate limiting controls, allowing attackers to flood servers with requests from limited sources.

Why trust our DDoS protection?

At VPSServer.com, we understand the critical nature of maintaining a consistent online presence. That's why our infrastructure is engineered with robust, multi-layered DDoS protection to automatically detect and mitigate malicious traffic before it can disrupt your services.

Our multi-layered defense system includes advanced traffic filtering that automatically detects and mitigates malicious traffic before it reaches your servers. When an attack is identified, our intelligent systems immediately reroute suspicious traffic through dedicated scrubbing centers where sophisticated algorithms separate legitimate user requests from attack traffic.

A DDoS attack sends unlimited connected requests, malformed packets, and incoming messages to target websites, dedicated servers, or any other network resource for a denial of service for users. These malicious attacks stop the website from receiving normal traffic volumes and can cause irreparable damage.

The attacks generally disrupt the normal network, service, or traffic and prevent genuine users from reaching applications, websites, or destinations.

How to recognize a DDoS attack

Server locationsLet’s say you notice performance slowdowns or start to suspect that something’s wrong. Here’s a list of the common signs of a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack:

Noticeably slow network performance

Look for a consistent and significant decrease in the speed and responsiveness of your website, applications, and other online services.

Unlimited requests from dedicated IP addresses: Observing an unusually high volume of connections or requests originating from a concentrated set of compromised devices or botnets within a short period is a strong indicator of malicious activity.

Odd traffic patterns or spikes at odd hours of the day

A DDoS attack can manifest as sudden, uncharacteristic surges in traffic, often at odd hours when normal user activity is low.

Inability to access any network services: Legitimate users, and even your own administrators, may find themselves completely unable to connect to your website, applications, APIs, or other network-dependent services.

Failure to access VPS

A DDoS attack targeting your server's network connection can prevent you from even accessing the administrative interface or the server itself.

General Internet connection slowdowns

In some cases, the sheer volume of malicious traffic can saturate your upstream internet connection, leading to a noticeable slowdown in your overall internet access.

Strategies to safeguard your systems from DDoS attacks

You can minimize the chances of becoming targets of DDoS attacks by adopting these strategies:

  • Multi-layered approach: Properly configure tools to identify and block suspicious activity, distribute traffic effectively, and cache content closer to users, thereby reducing the load on your origin servers during an attack. The service provider covers your servers from volumetric attacks, protocol-based, and application layer attacks.
  • Monitor traffic: Monitor traffic patterns and be vigilant during peak traffic seasons or events. Whenever a surge of unusual traffic is sent to your server or website, DDoS spots the activity and prevents the traffic from reaching the VPS server.
  • Activate firewall protection:The web application firewall adds a layer of protection between the website and the incoming traffic. The web application firewall filters and inspects the traffic blocks malicious requests and protects the web application from various attacks to provide users with a safer and seamless online experience.
  • Distribute data: Strategically replicate your data across various server locations worldwide. This redundancy can help mitigate the impact of a localized attack by allowing traffic to be redirected to healthy servers in different regions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a DDoS-protected VPS?

A DDoS-protected VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a virtual server that includes specialized security features designed to defend against Distributed Denial of Service attacks.

Key features typically include:

  • Traffic filtering systems that detect and block malicious traffic patterns
  • Network-level protections that can absorb or redirect large volumes of attack traffic
  • Advanced firewall configurations specifically tuned to identify DDoS signatures
  • Traffic scrubbing services that clean incoming data before it reaches your server
  • Redundant network pathways to maintain availability during attacks

DDoS attacks work by overwhelming your server with massive amounts of traffic from multiple sources simultaneously. Without protection, these attacks can take your services offline, potentially for extended periods.

Which types of DDoS attacks can be stopped with a DDoS-protected VPS?

A DDoS-protected VPS can be relied upon to stop the following DDoS attacks:

  • ICMP flood: The attacker slows down the system.

  • UDP flood: It makes the server inaccessible to the users.

  • Ping of death: It crashes, destabilizes, or freezes the targeted server.

  • HTTP flood: The attackers exploit interconnected systems by manipulating HTTP and POST requests.

  • SYN flood: The attackers send the SYN requests and consume the server resources making it inaccessible to legitimate traffic.

What are the signs of a possible DDoS attack?

The signs indicating possible DDoS attacks are:

  • Decreased resource availability
  • Increased latency in accessing services
  • Excessive network congestion
  • Unusual traffic patterns
  • Server overload

What are the potential hazards of DDoS attacks?

The potential hazards of DDoS attacks are:

  • Revenue loss: The attack may cause your critical web application to stop responding. This inactivity during peak sales affects revenue and causes significant business losses.

  • Data breaches: During a DDoS attack, the attackers acquire illegal access points to the network to steal crucial user and business information.

  • Loss of trust: The attackers target the critical infrastructure to degrade the network performance. It leaves customers unsatisfied with the services and could lead to a loss of faith in the service providers.
