A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is an attempt to make an online service unavailable by overwhelming it with traffic from multiple sources. DDoS attackers target a wide variety of online resources, from banks to news websites. They present a major challenge to publishing and accessing information online.
BuyVM offers a very affordable solution to protect your server from DDoS attacks. For just $3.00 per month (per IP) you can receive over 700,000,000 packets-per-second or 500gbit+/sec of DDoS protection. The amount of protection is not dedicated to you but is a pooled resource all protected customers share in each location.
A BuyVM customer running a popular Minecraft community was hit with an attack reaching nearly 200gbits. The attackers weren't packet shy either reaching 57.6 million packets per second. Luckily, the BuyVM customer subscribes to our DDoS Protection service.
The Minecraft community stayed online during the entire attack and did so without lag, and without any nullroutes.
