DDoS protection introduced across our hosting platform
Our hosting company has introduced enterprise-level Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection across our shared hosting platforms.
DDoS attacks flood a target with traffic with the intention of making a website unusable. Our shared platform is less vulnerable to these attacks than others due to our unique autoscaling servers. Even so, our hsoting compnay has now added this extra level of protection to strengthen our overall security offering at no extra cost to you.
Attacks of Terabit per Second-levels of data will be mitigated by this protection. It works by identifying the malicious traffic and isolating it, while letting normal, 'friendly' user traffic through. So sites will function as normal even in the midst of an attack.
