**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.

## How ddos protect works

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:

- Continuous monitoring of network traffic
- Fully automated attack detection
- Algorithm-driven diversion of attack traffic to LayerStack's scrubbing centers
- Filtering where clean traffic is allowed to pass on to the server

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.

| Hong Kong option | Hong Kong high-defence cloud servers with CN2 Direct China Connection automatically filter malicious traffic to scrubbing center |

## Server hosting with DDoS Protection

For buyers evaluating server hosting, LayerStack positions DDoS Protection as an add-on to cloud servers rather than a separate hosting plan:

- Applies to LayerStack cloud servers on a one-protection-per-server basis
- Preserves access for legitimate users during high-volume requests
- Supports configurations using CN2 Direct China Connection
- Supports Managed Database deployments
- Dedicated Cloud plans separately document anti-DDoS protection with Global Private Network for critical data

To deploy, add DDoS Protection to the target cloud server via the [DDoS Protection page](https://www.layerstack.com/en/ddos-protection).

## Server hosting Singapore with DDoS Protection

For buyers evaluating server hosting singapore, LayerStack documents DDoS Attack Protection availability in Singapore:

- DDoS Attack Protection launched in Singapore in August 2024
- Same model as other regions: up to 20Gbps, automated detection, diversion to scrubbing centers, one cloud server per protection
- Applicable to CN2 Direct China Connection and Managed Database where those options are selected

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](https://www.layerstack.com/en/ddos-protection).

## Pricing and how to add protection

- Starting price: US$51.00/mth
- Unit: one protection per cloud server
- Action: select the server to protect and add DDoS Protection at checkout or in the control panel

For current plan compatibility and ordering, see the [DDoS Protection page](https://www.layerstack.com/en/ddos-protection).

## How does ddos protect handle volumetric traffic?

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.

## What does server hosting include with DDoS Protection?

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.

## How does server hosting singapore support DDoS mitigation?

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.
