DDoS Mitigation

We offer DDoS mitigation in some of our locations. We offer best-effort L4 DDoS mitigation and we can usually tank basic attacks up to 10 Gbps (or sometimes larger) in most of our locations. However, if you do happen to get frequent DDoS attacks with large capacities and/or methods that we cannot mitigate which start impacting other users, we may ask you to move to a dedicated server or to other locations with better DDoS mitigation. In general, we would recommend you to avoid attracting or getting DDoS attacks. Alternatively, you could also use third-party mitigation services such as Cloudflare. We also don’t offer any game-specific firewall rules or other advanced firewall functionality at this time.

Port Capacities

Most of our host nodes for our virtual private server products run with a 10G or 20G public port. Some specific and/or older host nodes have a 1 Gbps maximum capacity. If you are on a hypervisor with a 10G or 20G public port, you should be able to burst past 1 Gbps.

The port capacities for dedicated servers and other products are usually listed on the product page.

Internal Traffic

If you have two virtual private servers in the same location, all traffic between them will be free of charge, and they will be able to communicate with each other over a 40G shared link. Only some locations support this functionality at the time being. Please contact us if you would like to activate this functionality, it is not configured by default.

Internal traffic is currently supported in the following locations:

  • Los Angeles, CA
  • Nuremberg, DE
  • Miami, FL

Internal traffic usage will show in the bandwidth graphs, but the traffic will be considered as free and will not be counted towards the fair use bandwidth policy.

Looking Glass

Our looking glasses are still a work in progress. For the time being, you can use the following speedtest servers (through Ookla, speedtest.net):

  • Nuremberg, DE (speedtest —server-id=60677)
  • Los Angeles, CA (speedtest —server-id=60694)

BGP Sessions

We can allow a BGP session if you are paying a minimum of $192/year with a service on yearly billing. We can allow monthly billing under certain circumstances depending on the location, please open a ticket for more information, but we usually require $29/month minimum on monthly

We currently have experimental support for BGP sessions in the following locations:

  • Los Angeles, CA
  • Nuremberg, DE
  • Miami, FL

Please contact us first before purchasing a service to see if it is possible with your requirements. It can take up to 1-2 weeks before we fully process the BGP session.

Bring Your Own IP (BYOIP)

We allow BYOIP for services if you are paying above $48/year with a service on yearly billing. We can allow monthly billing under certain circumstances depending on the location, please open a ticket for more information, but we usually require $16/month minimum on monthly. The IPv4 or IPv6 subnet will be announced under our ASN, which is AS206216.

We currently have experimental support for BYOIP in the following locations:

  • Los Angeles, CA
  • Nuremberg, DE
  • Miami, FL
  • Dallas, TX

Please contact us first before purchasing a service to see if it is possible with your requirements. It can take up to 1-2 weeks before we fully process the BYOIP request.

IPv6

We support IPv6 in most of our locations. We can usually assign individual IPv6 addresses in the following locations:

  • Los Angeles, CA
  • Nuremberg, DE
  • Miami, FL
  • Dallas, TX
  • Tokyo, JP
  • Singapore, SG

IPv6 subnets such as a /64 or /48 may be possible, please open a ticket to confirm availability.
