In a DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attack, an attacker will send thousands of fake requests in an attempt to exceed the bandwidth, flood a server’s resources, and overload the system. By doing this, valid requests can only be processed very slowly or not at all. A massive amount of compromised computers (botnets) are often used to create a gigantic amount of data traffic.

WeHost uses its automated security tools to protect your web applications, websites, servers, and IT infrastructure from this threat. Our automated system recognizes almost all attack patterns in advance, allowing it to block the attacks and effectively thwart the vast majority of them. It uses the latest hardware appliances and sophisticated perimeter security technologies, providing you with first-rate protection against large-scale DDoS attacks.
