Distributed denial of source attacks, also known as DDOS attacks, are when a malicious actor attempts to overload a server with automated requests from many devices at the same time. Botnets, which are composed of devices that have been infected with malicious software, are often used in these types of attacks.
This service helps protect your website from DDoS attacks by providing a layer of protection that can absorb and filter out malicious traffic. In short, this service makes sure automated malicious traffic never reaches your server.
DDoS protection is a good way to keep your site secure, but it is only one part of a larger security plan. Layer 7 attacks are not prevented by this plan. For added protection, we recommend using this hosting plan in combination with a firewall or an external service, like Cloudflare. It is also still necessary to follow security best practices, like using strong passwords and keeping your website software up to date.
Install and force the use of a SSL certificate
Create backups frequently and test them
Use strong passwords with letters, numbers, and symbols
Use IP address restrictions on any privileged or administrative areas
Monitor your log files frequently for attacks & intrusion attempts
Change the default admin URL
Place IP restrictions on the admin dashboard
Enable automatic updates
Limit account privileges to the bare minimum for their roles
