20 Oct DDoS Protection: protect your online business
How? Spoiler: through an ADVANCED DDoS protection
DDoS attacks (Distributed Denial of Service) represent one of the most concrete and damaging threats to any online business. These attacks are increasingly complex (sometimes it can be legitimate traffic) and growing in number.
These types of attacks can stop websites, applications, and services in just a few minutes. This causes economic damage and harms companies’ reputations.
To date, DDoS denial of service is one of the most powerful and frequently used attacks to disrupt the services of an online platform.
Imagine having an online business, an e-commerce, or any activity that brings you daily revenue. You’ve invested in PPC campaigns (Google Ads or similar), which you pay for—and quite a lot—to promote your business. Your site comes under a DDoS attack. What happens?
In the least serious situation, you lose the money invested in PPC. In addition, you lose customers interested in your service. If your site is offline, they’ll turn to your competitors.
You’ll discover why effective DDoS protection is essential for your business and how our solution stands out in the Italian market.
The Servereasy DDoS server protection system
Unlike many providers that rely solely on third-party solutions, we at Servereasy have created and tested an efficient DDoS protection system. This system is designed for the needs of the Italian market.
Distinctive features of our anti-DDoS system:
Always-On Protection
Our solution operates in Always-On mode, constantly analyzing real-time traffic without introducing latency. This proactive approach makes it possible to identify and mitigate attacks from the first signs, before they can impact services.
Multi-layer DDoS attack mitigation capability
Our protection system operates across all levels of the network stack:
- Layer 3-4 (Network and Transport): Mitigation of volumetric attacks, SYN flood, UDP flood, and other low-level attacks
- Layer 7 (Application): Protection against sophisticated attacks such as HTTP flood, Slowloris, and other techniques targeting web applications
3. Superior absorption capacity
Our mitigation infrastructure can handle attacks up to 1.2 Tbps. It can scale up to 12 Tbps thanks to strategic partners. This ensures protection even against the largest attacks.
4. In-house development and full control
Unlike standardized solutions, our system is developed and tested internally by our security experts, allowing us to:
- Quickly adapt countermeasures to new types of attacks
- Customize protection according to the specific needs of our clients
- Maintain full control over the entire mitigation chain
How our Always-On DDoS protection works
Our DDoS protection system operates through a four-step process, ensuring an immediate and effective response to any attack attempt:
1. Continuous monitoring and behavioral analysis
Our systems constantly monitor network traffic, establishing normal behavior profiles for each service. Any significant deviation from these patterns automatically triggers defense mechanisms.
2. Rapid detection based on advanced algorithms
We use proprietary machine learning algorithms that analyze dozens of traffic parameters to identify attack patterns with extreme precision, minimizing false positives.
3. Automatic and adaptive mitigation
Once an attack is detected, the system automatically activates the appropriate countermeasures:
- Geographic filtering: Blocking traffic coming from suspicious regions
- Intelligent rate limiting: Limiting the number of connections per source IP
- Challenge-response: Verifying the authenticity of requests through transparent challenges
- Advanced fingerprinting: Identifying and blocking malicious clients based on behavioral characteristics
4. Post-attack analysis and continuous optimization
After each event, our systems analyze the collected data to:
- Refine detection models
- Identify new attack patterns
- Optimize mitigation strategies
- Provide detailed reports to clients
This continuous improvement cycle ensures that our protection always stays one step ahead of emerging threats.
Real cases: when DDoS protection makes the difference
The real test of a DDoS protection system’s effectiveness is proven in the field. Here are some real cases in which our solution made a difference for our clients:
E-commerce during Black Friday
A major Italian e-commerce suffered a multi-vector DDoS attack during Black Friday, with a peak volume of 780 Gbps. Our system:
- Detected the attack within 7 seconds from its start
- Automatically activated the appropriate countermeasures
- Kept the website fully operational throughout the entire event
- Allowed the client to achieve the highest daily revenue in its history
Gaming server with thousands of users
A gaming server with over 5,000 active users was hit by a UDP amplification DDoS attack. Our protection:
- Automatically filtered the amplified traffic
- Maintained game latency below 30ms even during the attack
- Ensured uninterrupted gameplay for all users
- Provided continuous protection against the 12 subsequent attacks in the following weeks
These cases show how effective DDoS protection is not just a security measure but a true business enabler that allows you to maintain operational continuity even in the most critical situations.

ServerEasy Answers:
What exactly is a DDoS attack and why is it dangerous?
A DDoS attack (Distributed Denial of Service) is an attempt to make an online service unavailable by overwhelming it with traffic from multiple sources. It’s dangerous because it can cause service interruptions, financial losses, reputation damage, and undermine customer trust.
What are the most common types of DDoS attacks?
The most common types are: volumetric attacks (UDP flood, ICMP flood) that saturate bandwidth, protocol attacks (SYN flood) that exhaust server resources, and application attacks (Layer 7) targeting specific vulnerabilities in web applications.
How much does Servereasy’s DDoS protection cost?
Servereasy’s DDoS protection is included by default in all our services (VPS, dedicated servers, virtual datacenters) at no additional cost. There are no limits on attack volume or mitigation duration, and no hidden fees during attacks.
Does DDoS protection affect server performance?
No, Servereasy’s Always-On DDoS protection system operates transparently without introducing latency or degrading performance. Legitimate traffic is always forwarded to the server without interruption, even during an ongoing attack.
What is the mitigation capacity of Servereasy’s anti-DDoS system?
Servereasy’s anti-DDoS system can mitigate attacks up to 1.2 Tbps with scalability up to 12 Tbps thanks to integration with strategic partners, ensuring protection even against the largest attacks.
How does Servereasy’s Always-On DDoS protection work?
The Always-On protection constantly monitors traffic, establishes normal behavioral profiles, and detects anomalies using proprietary algorithms. When it identifies an attack, it automatically activates countermeasures such as geographic filtering, rate limiting, and challenge-response—without manual intervention.
Does Servereasy’s DDoS protection also cover Layer 7 (application) attacks?
Yes, Servereasy’s DDoS protection system operates across all levels of the network stack, including Layer 7 (application). It effectively protects against sophisticated attacks such as HTTP flood, Slowloris, and other techniques targeting web applications.
Can I receive reports on mitigated DDoS attacks?
Yes, Servereasy provides detailed reports on all security events, allowing you to view real-time statistics, analyze attack patterns, understand the effectiveness of mitigation measures, and document incidents for compliance purposes.
