Hi,
I’m looking for a DDoS mitigation service. The “Floating IP” is a very good idea but it doesn’t prevent DDoS attacks. Do you know a good hosting with DDoS protection?
I contacted support of DigitalOcean but they unfortunately do not provide anything to prevent these attacks.
Regards, Gabry

Hello there,
Quick update here. I’m excited to share that DigitalOcean has introduced a new feature in response to the valuable feedback we’ve received from users like you: DigitalOcean DDoS Protection:
Here are some key points about this new offering:
Cost: DigitalOcean DDoS Protection is available at no additional cost. That’s right, it’s a free service for all users!
Coverage: The protection extends to a range of DigitalOcean resources including:
Protection Layers: This service provides protection primarily at the Network (layer 3) and Transport (layer 4) layers of the OSI model. Please note that Application layer (layer 7) DDoS Protection is currently not supported.
Latency Concerns: One of the standout features of this service is that mitigation takes place entirely within the DigitalOcean network. This means that data traffic doesn’t leave our network for mitigation, ensuring that your applications experience no additional latency.
Overall Benefit: DigitalOcean DDoS Protection is an always-on service designed to defend your DigitalOcean cloud resources against a range of generalized, network-layer DDoS attacks. This ensures that your apps and websites run smoothly, without the threat of potential disruptions from such attacks.
Best,
Bobby
If you running a web server, you should look into to cloudflare. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/does-digital-ocean-comes-with-anti-ddos-protection
There are also other 3rd party DDoS migration services, which works as a proxy and it will filter incoming connections to your server. You have to keep your backend ip address as a secret. Downside with this is, they are usually expensive and adds latency.
Depends on what your trying to protect. What service is getting ddosed?
