Maximize the Security of Your Projects with Proven DDoS Protection Measures

DDoS protection from RootHosts identifies and stops attacks before they have the chance to seriously damage your IT infrastructure. As a result, we'll be the first line of defense against existing and emerging threats to ensure your business runs as smoothly as possible.

Mitigation of DDoS attacks

We detect and absorb attack traffic in real time, so your services stay online even during large floods.

Intrusion Detection System (IDS)

Our IDS watches traffic patterns around the clock. As a result, suspicious activity is flagged before it becomes a real threat.

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

The WAF filters every web request before it reaches your site. Therefore, attacks like SQL injection and XSS are blocked early.

Blocking hacking attempts

In addition to DDoS filtering, we block brute-force logins, port scans and other common hacking attempts.

Protected pages

Critical pages, such as login forms and checkouts, get extra protection, so attackers can't overload them.

Load balancing/failover

Traffic is spread across resources, and if one path fails, another one takes over automatically.

Layer 3/4 and 7 DDoS Protection

We cover network, transport and application layers. In other words, both volumetric floods and fake web requests are filtered.

DDoS Protection Packages

We have DDoS protection packages for every budget, so you can simply choose the one that works for your project. Not sure what a DDoS attack is? Then read this short DDoS attack explanation.

FAQ

General Questions About DDoS Protection

Specifically, we offer three tiers. First, Basic covers round-the-clock monitoring plus Layer 3 & 4 filtering — ideal for smaller projects with steady traffic. Meanwhile, Advanced adds traffic encapsulation and adaptive rate limiting. Finally, Professional adds cloud-based mitigation, machine-learning detection, and direct access to our security team for large platforms.

There's no fixed price list, because cost depends on your traffic volume, infrastructure size, exposed attack layers, and how much monitoring or support you need. In fact, a flat price would either overcharge small projects or undersell larger ones. So get in touch, and we'll come back with a package and price that fits.

Overall, our filtering spans the OSI stack: volumetric floods (UDP, SYN, DNS/NTP amplification), connection-exhaustion techniques (TCP ACK/RST floods, SSL negotiation abuse, SlowLoris), and application-layer assaults like HTTP(S) GET/POST floods or DNS query floods. However, new attack patterns emerge constantly, so this list is a snapshot, not a ceiling.

For example, picture thousands of requests hitting your server at once, sent by machines an attacker has quietly taken over (a botnet). In fact, none are real visitors, because they exist purely to exhaust your server's capacity. "In addition, "distributed" describes the traffic source: not one attacker, but a coordinated flood from many, which makes these attacks hard to block with a simple IP ban.

How DDoS Protection Works: Technical Questions

Rather than reacting once traffic hits your server, we route it through our filtering layer first, stripping out malicious requests before they reach your infrastructure. Specifically, the defenses we apply, such as scrubbing, CDN routing, rate limiting, encapsulation, or ML pattern detection, depend on your risk profile. Moreover, we keep tuning it as attack patterns evolve.

Generally, these numbers come from the OSI model. First, Layer 3 routes raw packets (IP, ICMP). Then, at Layer 4, the system manages connections, including the handshake and data flow (TCP, UDP). Finally, Layer 7, the application layer, is where a browser talks to a server (HTTP, SMTP). In short, attacks can target any layer — flooding packets at 3/4, or hammering your app with fake requests at Layer 7 — so real protection watches all three.

It's built to fit either. For example, a smaller site with steady traffic is well covered by Basic alone. However, as traffic grows, or when downtime would cost you money or reputation, Advanced or Professional makes more sense. In short, there's no minimum size to get started.

Honestly, no — any provider claiming otherwise isn't being straight with you. Instead, we promise that our filtering, monitoring, and detection catch the overwhelming majority of attack traffic, and our team is ready to respond if something unusual slips through.
