How to Protect Your Site from DDoS Attacks - Complete Guide

What is a DDoS attack?

A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack is an attempt to make a website or server unavailable by sending a huge number of requests from multiple sources at the same time. These attacks can last from a few minutes to several days.

Types of DDoS attacks

The most common types include volumetric attacks (flooding bandwidth), protocol attacks (exploiting network protocols), and application layer attacks (targeting specific services such as HTTP).

How BeoHosting protects your site

Our infrastructure includes multi-layered DDoS protection: a network firewall at the data center level, Imunify360 AI-powered protection at the server level, and the option to integrate with Cloudflare CDN for additional application-level protection.

What you can do

Enable Cloudflare (the free plan is enough for basic protection), update your CMS and plugins regularly, use strong passwords and two-factor authentication, and restrict admin panel access by IP address. In addition, enable HTTPS encryption on your site for secure communication.
