Knowledge & Answers

What does premium DDoS protection mean in hosting?

The term is not standardized. Specific capabilities and SLAs matter most.

Not a standardized term

Premium DDoS protection is not a fixed standard, but a marketing label.

What matters is the actual technical measures and guarantees.

Typical building blocks

Many offers combine multiple defense layers:

  • Network filtering for volumetric attacks.
  • Automatic detection and fast mitigation.
  • Protection for Layer 4 and Layer 7 traffic.
  • Monitoring, logs, and operational transparency.

What to check

Beyond raw capacity, SLA and response times are critical.

  • Mitigation time: how fast protection kicks in.
  • Maximum protection capacity and peak bandwidth.
  • False-positive risk and tuning options.
  • Availability of reports and status information.

Limits of defense

No protection is absolute. Against very large mixed attacks, layered defense and preparation help most.
