A distributed denial of service attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt normal traffic of a server, service, or network by overwhelming the target or its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of internet traffic. From a high level, a DDoS attack is like a traffic jam clogging up a highway, preventing regular traffic from arriving at its desired destination. They are relatively cheap and easy to organize and can be highly effective, though they often require significant resources to mitigate against.
Hostgee has been successfully mitigating against DDoS attacks for years. Based on the vast expertise we've developed a solution connecting both proprietary software components and hardware that will protect your website or servers against DDoS attacks of all types with SLA guarantee.
A DDoS attack is launched from numerous compromised devices, often distributed globally in what is referred to as a botnet, whereas a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack can be launched from a single device connected to the Internet. Most web-based attacks, DoS and DDoS attacks can be divided into three types: volume-based attacks, attacks targeting core web protocols and application layer attacks. In all these scenarios, Hostgee applies its DDoS protection solutions outside of your network, meaning that only filtered traffic reaches your hosts.

This technique is often called a Remote DDoS Protected Proxy and is basically an encrypted tunnel between our secure facility in Riyadh and your backend server. In case of a DDoS attack, all requests that target your web property will be routed through the mitigating hardware located at Hostgee's data center in Riyadh to filter out malicious packets and make sure that all legitimate requests reach the backend server. Your backend server's real IP address will be hidden behind our secure proxy to make it unreachable for any attackers.
Some Layer 4 attacks cannot be successfully mitigated through a remote DDoS protected proxy by design. Please consider moving your website(s) or service(s) to our protected network for maximum security.
