Zero-Loss Technology
How Our DDoS Protection Works
Together with our network partner dataforest, we automatically secure every server against DDoS attacks – with no effort or extra cost for you.
- Multi-Layer Filter Architecture
- In-house systems combined with hardware from leading manufacturers automatically detect attacks and adapt filter profiles in real time.
- Protection at Every Layer
- Attacks are filtered at both the network layer (Layer 3/4) and the application layer (Layer 7) before they reach your server.
- BGP Flowspec & GRE Tunnels
- Advanced protection mechanisms such as BGP Flowspec and GRE tunnels are available for colocation and dedicated server customers with their own IP ranges.
- BYOIP & BYOAS Protection
- Your own IP ranges and autonomous systems can also be secured via dynamic BGP protection.
- Zero-Downtime Principle
- Mitigation runs automatically in the background – your server stays reachable during an attack.
- 24/7 Emergency Hotline
- In an emergency, you can reach us around the clock for urgent questions.
