Direct answer: LayerStack DDoS Protection is an add-on for LayerStack server hosting starting at US$51.00/mth that provides up to 20Gbps of automated volumetric DDoS mitigation via scrubbing centers. Attack detection continuously monitors network traffic and automatically diverts attack traffic for filtering, while clean traffic is passed on to the server. Each protection applies to one cloud server and is applicable to LayerStack's CN2 Direct China Connection and Managed Database.
LayerStack defines Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks as volumetric malicious traffic that tries to flood a server, overwhelm server capacity, and render applications inaccessible to legitimate users.
The mitigation workflow documented by LayerStack is:
LayerStack describes this as mitigating business-impairing DDoS attacks 24/7 by routing volumetric malicious traffic to scrubbing centers, to preserve online presence and reduce loss of service uptime, critical data and reputation.

For buyers evaluating server hosting, LayerStack positions DDoS Protection as an add-on to cloud servers rather than a separate hosting plan:
To deploy, add DDoS Protection to the target cloud server via the DDoS Protection page.
For buyers evaluating server hosting singapore, LayerStack documents DDoS Attack Protection availability in Singapore:
Singapore cloud deployment itself is managed through LayerStack cloud server plans with unlimited traffic. Add the Singapore DDoS Protection option via the DDoS Protection page.
For current plan compatibility and ordering, see the DDoS Protection page.
It continuously monitors traffic, automatically detects attacks, diverts volumetric malicious traffic to LayerStack's scrubbing centers, filters it, and forwards clean traffic to the server. LayerStack offers up to 20Gbps of defense capacity under this model.
Server hosting itself provides the cloud server; DDoS Protection is a US$51.00/mth add-on that adds up to 20Gbps automated mitigation for that server. Each protection covers one cloud server and can apply to CN2 Direct China Connection and Managed Database.
LayerStack launched DDoS Attack Protection in Singapore in August 2024 using the same up to 20Gbps automated scrubbing-center model. Buyers hosting in Singapore add one protection per cloud server, with compatibility for CN2 Direct China Connection and Managed Database.
