DDoS Protection Included · KVM · Root Access · From ₹399/mo

Anti-DDoS VPS Hosting

Linux VPS with network-level DDoS protection included by default, plus full root access so you can layer your own application-level defenses on top. From ₹399/mo, KVM virtualisation, Mumbai and Delhi data centers.

See Linux VPS Plans

DDoS Protection Plus Root Control

Included network protection is the baseline — root access is what lets you build a defense-in-depth setup on top of it.

🛡️

Network-Level DDoS Filtering

Volumetric and protocol-layer attacks are filtered before they reach your VPS, included at no extra charge on every plan.

🐧

Full Root Access

Configure your own iptables/nftables rules, Fail2ban jails, or rate limiting at the application layer on top of the base network protection.

🖥️

KVM Virtualisation

True hardware-level isolation between VPS instances — a neighbour's traffic issue can't spill into your resource allocation.

AMD Ryzen 5 5500 / Intel Xeon E5-2673 v4

Solid CPU performance for running your own mitigation tooling, web application firewall, or reverse proxy alongside your application.

💽

NVMe SSD Storage

Fast storage keeps logging and monitoring tools (useful for identifying attack patterns) from becoming a bottleneck themselves.

What Root Access Adds on Top of Base DDoS Protection

Network-level DDoS protection (included on every VPS plan) handles the traffic-flood layer — the part that would otherwise consume your bandwidth or connection limits regardless of what your application does. Root access is what lets you go further and defend against application-layer abuse that doesn't necessarily register as a network-level DDoS event.

  • Fail2ban configured to watch your web server or SSH logs and automatically ban IPs showing abusive patterns (repeated failed logins, scraping, endpoint hammering).
  • Nginx rate limiting (limit_req/limit_conn) scoped to specific endpoints — login pages, search, or API routes that are common targets for application-layer abuse.
  • A self-hosted or third-party web application firewall (WAF) for filtering malicious request patterns (SQLi, XSS attempts) beyond what network-level DDoS filtering addresses.
  • Custom firewall rules (iptables/nftables/ufw) restricting access to administrative ports or services to known IP ranges.

This layered approach is the realistic security posture

No single feature — DDoS protection, a WAF, root access — is a complete security solution alone. The combination of included network-level protection plus the control root access gives you to add application-specific defenses is what makes a properly configured VPS meaningfully more resilient than shared hosting for higher-risk workloads.

Common Use Cases

Game server operators, public-facing APIs, community platforms, and e-commerce stores during high-traffic periods are among the workloads that most benefit from combining included DDoS protection with root-access hardening — see our dedicated e-commerce DDoS page if that's your specific case.

FAQ

Anti-DDoS VPS questions

Included by default on every Hoststack Linux and Windows VPS plan — no separate activation or additional charge.
Yes — full root access lets you configure iptables, nftables, ufw, or Fail2ban as you see fit, layered on top of the base network-level DDoS mitigation.
Fail2ban and basic firewall rules add negligible overhead on any plan. If you're running a full WAF or heavy logging/monitoring stack, size your VPS RAM and CPU allocation with that additional load in mind.
The underlying network-level protection is the same infrastructure feature across both; what differs is which OS-level tools (iptables vs Windows Firewall) you'd use to add your own rules on top.
Yes — VPS and game server plans are non-refundable once provisioned, regardless of what you configure on them. Review the plan carefully, or start with our entry-level plan, before committing.
