DDoS-Protected Dedicated Servers with 100 Gbps Edge Mitigation

A decade ago, a 10 Gbps DDoS attack was a newsworthy event. In 2026, a 100+ Gbps attack is routine, and the booter/stresser economy means anyone with $20 and a grudge can rent enough capacity to take down an unprotected server. Any publicly-addressable service with interesting content - a game server, a streaming platform, a political site, a competitor's e-commerce store, or just someone with an opinionated forum - will eventually be the target of a DDoS.

The consequences of unmitigated DDoS go beyond the immediate outage. Most transit providers null-route attacked IPs to protect the broader network, which means even after the attack ends, your IP may be unreachable for hours. Many hosting providers additionally bill customers for the inbound attack bandwidth, which can produce surprise invoices of hundreds or thousands of dollars. Some providers outright suspend accounts as collateral-damage prevention, leaving the customer to re-provision from scratch.

The only durable answer is always-on DDoS mitigation that absorbs and filters attacks at the network edge, before they reach your server's IP. AnubizHost builds this into every dedicated server plan rather than offering it as an upsell, because we have watched customers learn this lesson the hard way too many times.

Our edge mitigation is built on BGP-announced scrubbing centers with 100 Gbps aggregate capacity across multiple European PoPs. Incoming traffic to every protected IP passes through the scrubbing layer continuously. The layer identifies and drops common attack vectors at line rate: UDP floods, amplification attacks (DNS, NTP, memcached, CLDAP), SYN floods, ACK floods, fragmented-packet attacks, and protocol-anomaly attacks all get filtered automatically.

Layer 3 and Layer 4 protection is always-on and requires no configuration from you. Layer 7 protection (HTTP/HTTPS application-layer attacks, slow-loris, RUDY, low-rate application floods) is available on request for web-serving customers. L7 protection involves deploying our reverse proxy layer in front of your server and configuring appropriate rate limits and fingerprint-based filtering for your specific application.

For customers targeted by unusual or sustained campaigns, we can deploy custom filtering rules based on packet patterns, source ASN blocklists, geographic filtering, or behavior-based anomaly detection. This custom work is included in the Performance and Pro tiers; the Starter tier includes baseline L3/L4 protection only.

Reaction time to a new attack vector is typically under 30 seconds from the first detected anomaly to filtering deployment. We operate 24/7 network monitoring, and large attacks automatically escalate to our on-call engineers for rapid response.

Every AnubizHost dedicated server plan includes DDoS protection as standard. The Starter plan at $89/mo includes 100 Gbps L3/L4 protection. The Performance plan at $129/mo adds L7 HTTP/HTTPS protection and custom rule deployment. The Pro plan at $199/mo adds dedicated scrubbing capacity with priority during sustained campaigns and a named network engineer for attack response.

For customers under active sustained attack (multi-day campaigns, politically motivated attacks), we offer an emergency-onboarding track that prioritizes provisioning and engineering response. Contact our sales team directly for emergency placement.

Game server customers (Minecraft, Counter-Strike, Rust, Garry's Mod) get specific protocol-aware L7 protection for their game traffic, tuned to handle the unique attack patterns common against competitive gaming infrastructure.

DDoS protection is active from the moment your server is provisioned. There is no separate onboarding step, no pre-filter configuration required, and no activation delay. Your IP is announced from our BGP scrubbing network by default, and all inbound traffic is inspected at the edge before reaching your server.

For customers who need to run legitimate high-volume UDP services (VPN endpoints, game servers, streaming), we tune the mitigation profile to avoid false positives on the traffic patterns specific to your workload. This is a one-time configuration step during onboarding, done in collaboration with your technical contact.

During an active attack, you retain full access to your server - the mitigation runs transparently at the network layer without interfering with legitimate traffic. We provide real-time attack visibility via a customer dashboard showing attack vectors, traffic volumes, and filtering actions, so you can monitor the situation rather than guessing what is happening.

Standard dedicated server provisioning runs 24 to 48 hours; DDoS-protected servers follow the same timeline since protection is a network-level service rather than hardware configuration.

Most hosting providers either exclude DDoS protection entirely (you buy the server, you handle the attack yourself), charge punitive rates for mitigation capacity, or silently null-route attacked IPs and call it a day. AnubizHost's position is that DDoS protection is infrastructure, not a product - it should be included by default because every serious hosting customer needs it.

Our mitigation capacity is real (100 Gbps across multiple scrubbing PoPs), our reaction time is measured in seconds not hours, and our engineering team understands the difference between a protocol exploit, a volumetric flood, and a slow-application-layer attack. Combined with our offshore DMCA-ignored jurisdictions, crypto billing, and no-KYC signup, AnubizHost is practical infrastructure for customers whose services are likely attack targets.

For game server operators, streaming platforms, political sites, independent media, and any service whose success makes it a target, starting with DDoS protection included (rather than bolting it on after the first attack) is the right architecture decision. Plans start at $89/mo with full protection active from day one.
