DDoS Protection
for VPS & Dedicated Servers.

Shield your infrastructure from volumetric, protocol, and application-layer DDoS attacks. Add always-on or on-demand mitigation to any AlphaVPS VPS or dedicated server - with sub-second detection and network-native scrubbing.

Heads up: DDoS protection is not included by default in any AlphaVPS plan. It's a custom-configured paid add-on, activated per server only when you request it. Pricing and capacity are scoped to your workload and expected attack profile - contact sales for a quote.
How It Works

How DDoS Mitigation Works

Malicious traffic is identified and scrubbed before it reaches your server. Clean traffic flows through uninterrupted - in three stages.

01

Detect Attacks in Real Time

Continuous traffic analysis identifies anomalies within seconds. Sensors monitor packet rates, protocol patterns, and behavioral signatures across every ingress point on our global network.

02

Scrub Malicious Traffic

Attack traffic is rerouted to on-network scrubbing centers where surgical filtering removes malicious packets while preserving legitimate requests - without impacting latency for clean traffic.

03

Deliver Clean Traffic

Only verified clean traffic reaches your server. Post-attack analytics give full visibility into the attack vector, duration, and peak volume - so you always know what was blocked.

Coverage

DDoS Attack Vectors We Mitigate

Volumetric floods
L3 - Volumetric Floods
UDP floods, ICMP floods, and IP fragmentation attacks. High-bandwidth saturation attempts absorbed at the network edge before they reach your VPS or server.
Protocol attacks
L4 - Protocol Attacks
SYN floods, ACK floods, TCP state exhaustion. Connection-table attacks neutralized before reaching your server stack.
Application layer
L7 - Application Layer
HTTP floods, slowloris, and DNS query attacks. Intelligent filtering distinguishes bots from legitimate users - critical for game servers and web applications.
Amplification attacks
Amplification Attacks
DNS, NTP, SSDP, and memcached reflection attacks. Spoofed-source amplification vectors blocked at ingress.
Zero-day vectors
Zero-Day Vectors
Behavioral analysis catches novel attack patterns that signature-based systems miss. Rulesets update continuously to stay ahead of emerging threats.
Multi-vector blended
Multi-Vector Blended
Simultaneous L3+L4+L7 campaigns handled in parallel. Each layer has independent detection and scrubbing capacity.

Always-On vs On-Demand
DDoS Protection

Two deployment modes to match your risk profile. Always-on for zero-delay mitigation on production workloads, or on-demand for cost-efficient coverage on development and staging environments.

Always-on protection

Always-On

Traffic is routed through scrubbing infrastructure at all times. Zero delay between attack start and mitigation - protection is already active.

  • Instant mitigation - no activation delay
  • Ideal for gaming, e-commerce, SaaS
  • Continuous traffic monitoring
  • Best for services that can't tolerate any downtime
Best for: Production workloads, gaming servers, e-commerce, and SaaS platforms
On-demand protection

On-Demand

Protection activates automatically when an attack is detected. Traffic routes normally during peacetime, then diverts through scrubbing when needed.

  • Auto-activates on attack detection
  • Lower cost than always-on
  • Normal latency during peacetime
  • Suitable for dev, staging, and lower-risk services
Best for: Development servers, staging environments, and backup infrastructure
Why AlphaVPS

Network-Native DDoS Protection

Our DDoS mitigation is integrated directly into the AlphaVPS network infrastructure - not a third-party overlay. That means lower latency, faster response, and no traffic detours off-network.

DDoS Protection FAQ

Common questions about adding DDoS mitigation to your AlphaVPS VPS or dedicated server.

No. DDoS protection is an optional, paid add-on - it is not included by default with any VPS, dedicated server, or colocation plan. Every protected server is configured individually based on your workload and attack profile, with pricing quoted per deployment.

Open a support ticket or contact sales and tell us which server needs protection, what kind of traffic it handles, and your expected attack exposure. We'll configure the appropriate mode (always-on or on-demand), quote the monthly price, and activate protection on your existing service - usually within hours, no migration or IP change required. Works on Storage VPS, Ryzen VPS, and any dedicated or colocation deployment.

Our protection covers L3 volumetric floods (UDP, ICMP), L4 protocol attacks (SYN floods, TCP state exhaustion), and L7 application-layer attacks (HTTP floods, slowloris). Amplification and multi-vector blended attacks are also handled.

Always-on routes your traffic through scrubbing infrastructure 24/7 - there's zero activation delay during an attack. On-demand monitors your traffic and only activates scrubbing when an attack is detected, which may take a few seconds to engage. Always-on is recommended for production and latency-sensitive workloads.

The impact is minimal. Since scrubbing happens on our own network infrastructure (not a third-party service), the additional latency overhead is negligible - typically under 1ms. On-demand mode adds zero latency during peacetime.

Yes. DDoS protection can be added to any active AlphaVPS service - Cheap VPS, High-Performance VPS, Ryzen VPS, or any dedicated server. No migration or IP change required.

Mitigation capacity depends on the protection tier. Contact our sales team for specifics on capacity, throughput limits, and pricing for your particular needs. For details on our backbone and peering arrangements, see the network infrastructure page.
