Use cases
Why builders choose
Cloudzy's DDoS Protected VPS.
Game servers
Minecraft, CS2, Valheim, game servers are frequent DDoS targets. Mitigation keeps your players connected while attack traffic gets filtered upstream.
E-commerce stores
Downtime during a sale costs real money. DDoS protection ensures your store stays up even when competitors or bad actors try to knock you offline.
VPN & proxy services
VPN endpoints are common DDoS targets. Run WireGuard or OpenVPN behind Cloudzy's mitigation layer. Your tunnel stays up when attacks happen.
DNS & email servers
Authoritative DNS and mail servers need to stay reachable. DDoS mitigation prevents volumetric floods from taking your DNS or mail infrastructure offline.
SaaS platforms
Your customers depend on your uptime. DDoS protection is included, not an upsell. Focus on building your product instead of worrying about attack mitigation.

FAQ — DDoS Protected VPS
Common questions, straight answers.
What kind of DDoS protection is included?
Every Cloudzy VPS includes volumetric DDoS mitigation at no extra cost. Upstream filtering detects and absorbs flood-type attacks (UDP floods, SYN floods, DNS amplification) before they reach your server. This is included in the base price, no add-on needed.
Does DDoS protection cost extra?
No. DDoS mitigation is included on every plan, from the $2.48/mo tier to the 64 GB tier. No add-on charges, no premium tier required. It's part of the infrastructure.
What types of attacks are mitigated?
Volumetric attacks. UDP floods, SYN floods, ICMP floods, DNS amplification, NTP reflection, and similar Layer 3/4 attacks. These are the most common DDoS vectors. Application-layer (Layer 7) attacks require additional tools like rate limiting or WAF, which you configure on your server.
Will DDoS mitigation affect legitimate traffic?
No, mitigation is designed to filter malicious traffic patterns while passing legitimate connections through normally. You should not notice any latency increase or connection issues during normal operation.
Do I need to configure anything for DDoS protection?
No configuration required on your end. The mitigation operates at the network level, upstream of your VPS. Your server sees only clean traffic. You can add your own iptables rules and fail2ban for additional application-level protection.
Can I add my own firewall rules on top?
Yes. Full root access means you can configure iptables, nftables, ufw, fail2ban, or any firewall tool. Cloudzy's DDoS mitigation handles volumetric floods upstream; your on-server firewall handles application-level filtering.
What happens during an active attack?
Upstream mitigation absorbs the attack traffic. Your VPS continues operating normally, legitimate connections route through as usual. You may see increased traffic in your monitoring, but your server stays online and responsive.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes, 14 days, full refund, no questions asked. Deploy your application, test the protection, run your workload. If Cloudzy doesn't meet your needs, you get your money back.
How fast is provisioning?
60 seconds from payment confirmation. DDoS protection is active immediately, no waiting for mitigation to be enabled or configured. Your server boots with protection already in place.
