What Is DDoS Protection and Why Your Site Needs It

Distributed denial-of-service attacks flood your server with malicious traffic, making your site unreachable to real visitors.

How attacks work

Botnets target network layers or application endpoints simultaneously, exhausting bandwidth, connections, or CPU.

Capnis protection

Basic network-level DDoS mitigation is included on all services. VPS and dedicated customers handling high-profile launches can add advanced scrubbing and filtering.

Reduce exposure

Keep software patched, use a WAF where appropriate, and monitor traffic anomalies through your client area dashboards.
