DDoS Protection and Attack Mitigation
Always-on anti-DDoS, included in our managed VPS in Italy. We block volumetric and application attacks with network-level mitigation, WAF and Cloudflare integration. You’re protected without having to hire an external sysadmin: we handle the rest, in Italian.
A DDoS attack takes you offline
DDoS attacks are easy to rent and hit SMEs too. When the site becomes unreachable, the damage isn’t just technical: it’s lost sales, frustrated customers and damaged reputation.
Downtime
The site becomes unreachable: according to industry studies, every hour of downtime costs SMEs thousands of euros.
Lost sales
For an e-commerce, every minute offline is a missed order: customers don’t wait, they buy elsewhere.
Reputation damage
An unreliable service undermines trust: users remember the site that wasn’t working when they needed it.
Extortion
Some attacks come with ransom demands to stop them: giving in guarantees nothing.
DDoS attacks are constantly growing according to industry reports and don’t require advanced skills to launch. Preventing them with always-on mitigation costs a fraction of the damage of a prolonged outage.
Multi-layered defence against DDoS
A single countermeasure isn’t enough: we combine network mitigation, application filters and edge protection in a single managed service, so every type of attack meets a defence. All configured by us, in Italian.
Always-on mitigation
Protection is always active, not just after the attack has started. Traffic is continuously analysed and malicious traffic is filtered before it reaches your server, with nothing for you to do.
L3/L4 volumetric defence
We block volumetric attacks that saturate bandwidth and connections — SYN flood, UDP flood, amplification — absorbing and scrubbing the traffic upstream, so the infrastructure stays reachable.
L7 application protection
The most insidious attacks hit the application layer with seemingly legitimate requests, such as HTTP floods. We apply rate limiting, traffic rules and filters to tell real users from bots.
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
A WAF filters HTTP/HTTPS requests, blocking known attack patterns and anomalous traffic before it reaches the site. It protects against application abuse and reduces the load generated by bots and automated scanners.
Cloudflare integration
We configure protection upstream, on the Cloudflare edge: traffic is filtered on the global network before it even reaches your Italian server, adding an anti-DDoS layer and a distributed CDN.
Monitoring and alerts
We keep an eye on traffic and service status: in case of anomalies or suspicious peaks we receive an alert and step in. You stay protected without having to hire an external sysadmin.
Turnkey DDoS protection
From network mitigation to Cloudflare configuration, we handle it all. You get the peace of mind of a protected infrastructure and a single partner for hosting, security and continuity.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about DDoS protection, always-on mitigation, volumetric and application attacks, WAF and Cloudflare.
What is a DDoS attack and why should I worry about it?
A DDoS attack (Distributed Denial of Service) aims to make a site or server unreachable by flooding it with traffic from many sources at once. The goal isn’t to steal data, but to take you offline: and every hour of downtime means lost sales, users who can’t find you and reputational damage. SMEs are targets too, often because they’re less protected, and attacks are now easy to rent cheaply.
What’s the difference between volumetric and application attacks?
Volumetric attacks (network layers L3/L4) aim to saturate the server’s bandwidth or connections with huge amounts of traffic — for example SYN flood or UDP flood. Application attacks (layer L7) are more sophisticated: they send seemingly legitimate requests, as in HTTP floods, to exhaust the application’s resources with even modest traffic volumes. Both require different defences, which is why we combine network mitigation, WAF and rate limiting.
Is DDoS protection included or is it paid separately?
A level of anti-DDoS protection is already included in our managed VPS in Italy, with network-level mitigation: it’s not a hidden cost for basic defence. For more advanced needs — dedicated Cloudflare configuration, custom WAF, specific application rules or high-traffic sites — we define the solution on a quote basis, based on your infrastructure and risk level.
What does "always-on" mitigation mean?
It means protection is always active and analyses traffic continuously, not just after detecting an attack in progress. This eliminates reaction time: malicious traffic is filtered (scrubbed) before reaching the server, minimising the impact. "On-demand" solutions that only activate after the attack begins leave a window of disruption.
How does Cloudflare integrate into your protection?
Cloudflare adds a layer of defence upstream, on the edge of its global network: traffic passes first through its datacenters, where it’s filtered and cleaned, and only legitimate traffic reaches your server. We configure the DNS, WAF rules and anti-bot policies, integrating this protection with the VPS network mitigation. The result is multi-layered defence, entirely managed by us.
Is a WAF enough on its own to stop a DDoS?
No: the WAF is a fundamental component against L7 application attacks and malicious requests, but it’s not enough on its own against volumetric attacks that saturate bandwidth at the network level. Effective protection is layered: L3/L4 volumetric mitigation to absorb large volumes, rate limiting and WAF for the application layer, and monitoring to act on anomalies. We bring these layers together in a single service.
If I’m attacked, do I have to call an external sysadmin?
No. The advantage of our approach is that you’re protected without having to hire external consultants: mitigation is already configured and active, and in case of an attack our team steps in, in Italian. We monitor traffic, apply countermeasures and keep you updated. You have a single partner for hosting, security and DDoS protection, instead of having to coordinate multiple providers during an emergency.
