DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service)

An overload attack from many sources that knocks services offline.

Cloud servers with DDoS protection

A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack floods a server from many sources at once with requests or traffic until it is overwhelmed and unreachable for real users. Public-facing services are the most exposed — a webshop or a rented game server , where even brief outages cost players and revenue. Effective protection filters malicious traffic at the network edge before it reaches the machine — ideally always on, not switched on only once an attack is already underway. At Bthorio, always-on DDoS protection is included at no extra cost on every cloud and dedicated server , so legitimate users keep working even while under fire.
