Quick answer: Cloud2Y offers DDoS protection as a configurable option when ordering VPS, VDS or dedicated servers. Protected traffic is inspected upstream and attack flows are filtered before they reach your port, so your services stay reachable during common attacks. Enable it at order time or request it later via ticket.
Overview
Host-level tools (firewall, Fail2ban, rate limits) protect against application abuse, but once a flood saturates the network link, only the provider can help — filtering has to happen before your server's port. Cloud2Y's Cisco-based network applies that upstream filtering for protected services: attack signatures are scrubbed while legitimate traffic passes.
Before you start
- Assess your exposure: public-facing sites, game servers and APIs with known user bases attract attacks more often.
- Check whether your current service already includes the DDoS protection option — it is listed among the configurable options of your service in the Client Area.
Step-by-step guide
- New orders: select the DDoS protection option in the configurable options step when ordering.
- Existing services: open a support ticket asking to add DDoS protection; the team will confirm availability, terms and pricing for your specific location and configuration.
- During an attack: follow the reporting guide — timestamps, target IPs and symptoms help NOC react fast.
- Keep host-level hygiene anyway: upstream filtering handles floods; application logic abuse still needs your rate limits and caching (protect an API or web app).
Common issues
- Expecting one option to cover everything: upstream filtering targets network-level floods; sophisticated Layer 7 abuse may still need app-side tuning.
- Enabling protection only after the first attack: activation mid-attack is possible but slower than having it in place.
- Assuming specifics without asking: capacity, methods and terms depend on location and configuration — confirm details for your case via ticket rather than assumptions.
When to contact support
Contact Cloud2Y support to add protection to an existing service, to get current terms and pricing, or immediately when you are under an attack that affects availability.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get DDoS protection at Cloud2Y?
Select the DDoS protection option among the configurable options when ordering a VPS, VDS or dedicated server, or open a support ticket to add it to an existing service.
How does upstream DDoS filtering work?
Traffic to your IP is inspected inside the provider network first; flows matching attack patterns are scrubbed there, and cleaned traffic is delivered to your server port.
What does the DDoS protection option cost?
Pricing and exact terms depend on the location and configuration of your service, so confirm current details through a support ticket before ordering or upgrading.
