DDoS security is an important service for anyone seeking out hosting. Here are a few reasons why.
Denial of Service Attacks Can Be Dangerous
It’s important to get DDoS security as a service when you sign up for a hosting solution because a DDoS attack could cost you a lot of money. This type of attack occurs when one or more computers all try to access your site at the same time, pinging your site’s server relentlessly over and over.
If this happens enough, especially with a hosting service that doesn’t have precautions against it, this could cause your site to collapse and go down. If you run or are part of a business that works online, then you know that it’s critically important to have as much uptime as possible.
If a DDoS attack takes your site down, then you could lose potential business with every minute that goes by. And even more dangerous than this is the fact that you could lose reputation and trust with your customers.
If they try to connect to your site and can’t get there, they might figure that your site is either down for good or that you aren’t being careful enough about security. Bad site reputations can destroy enterprise businesses online quickly.
This is why it’s essential to protect yourself beforehand.
DDoS Attacks Are Easy to Make But Easy to Counter with the Right Features
It doesn’t take a lot for hackers to set up a DDoS attack. All you really need are enough computers and the right software. This is easy enough to obtain through the social networking power of groups on the Internet.
This is also exactly why many large companies have been brought low by DDoS attacks when their security prevented any other kind of problem. This is why you need certified expert staff trained in DDoS protection at your host. It also helps if the host has guarantees for maximizing uptime when DDoS attacks against you occur.
One feature to look for is multi-layered capabilities for DDoS security since this will allow you to be protected in multiple different ways.
