**Direct answer:** LayerStack DDoS Protection starts at US$51.00/mth and provides up to 20Gbps of volumetric defense per Cloud Server by routing malicious traffic to LayerStack scrubbing centers. Detection is fully automated: clean traffic is filtered and passed to the server, while attack traffic is diverted for mitigation 24/7. The add-on applies to LayerStack Cloud Servers, CN2 Direct China Connection, and Managed Database, and LayerStack cloud servers include unlimited traffic.

## ddos protect: cost and coverage

LayerStack documents its volumetric DDoS service on the [DDoS Protection page](https://www.layerstack.com/en/ddos-protection):

| Attribute | LayerStack fact |
|---|---|
| Starting price | US$51.00 /mth |
| Mitigation capacity | Up to 20Gbps DDoS attack defense |
| Scope per purchase | Each Protection Applicable to One Cloud Server |
| Method | Route volumetric malicious traffic to LayerStack's scrubbing centers |
| Detection | Fully automated, continuously monitoring network traffic |
| Traffic handling | Attack traffic diverted to scrubbing center; clean traffic filtered and allowed to pass to server |
| Compatibility | Applicable to LayerStack's CN2 Direct China Connection; Applicable to Managed Database |
| Deployment context | Hong Kong high-defence cloud servers with CN2 Direct China Connection automatically filter malicious traffic to scrubbing center |
| Singapore availability | DDoS Attack Protection launched in Singapore in August 2024 |

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are defined by LayerStack as volumetric malicious traffic that tries to flood a server, overwhelm server capacity, and render applications inaccessible to legitimate users.

## ipstresser queries and volumetric protection

Searches for `ipstresser` typically relate to stresser-generated flood traffic used to test or overwhelm servers. LayerStack does not document stresser use; it documents mitigation of the resulting volumetric traffic:

- Mitigation target: high-volume requests that would otherwise overwhelm server capacity
- Mitigation path: automated algorithm diverts attack traffic to scrubbing center
- User impact goal: impact of the attack goes unnoticed by users while clean traffic preserves online presence
- Stated purpose: prevent loss of service uptime, critical data and reputation from business-impairing attacks

One protection covers one Cloud Server. It does not document a per-gigabyte scrubbing overage in the extracts.

## load balancer brands: LayerStack Load Balancers

For buyers comparing `load balancer brands`, LayerStack lists its own Load Balancer service on the [Load Balancers page](https://www.layerstack.com/en/load-balancers):

| Attribute | LayerStack fact |
|---|---|
| Starting price | US$9.00 /mth; each node costs US$9.00 per month |
| Function | Distributes workloads to a pool of servers across multiple regions |
| Protocols | Supports TCP and customized SSL certificates; integrated Encrypt SSL with provisioning, renewal, and support for HTTP/2 |
| Availability behavior | If anomalies occur in one region, traffic is routed to the next healthy server autonomously |
| Management | Deploy instantly and manage via LayerPanel |
| Documented use cases | High-traffic websites with large simultaneous requests; disaster recovery by routing around unhealthy servers; multiple high-availability configurations |
| Service areas documented | Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo |

## dedicated bandwidth and unlimited traffic

For `dedicated bandwidth` and unlimited-traffic cost questions:

- **Unlimited traffic:** LayerStack states its cloud servers provide unlimited traffic to websites, listed as "Unlimited Traffic" with same price regardless of traffic use.
- **Dedicated Cloud bandwidth:** LayerStack documents Dedicated Cloud on the [Dedicated Cloud page](https://www.layerstack.com/en/dedicated-cloud) as starting at US$73.00/mth, described as a virtual dedicated machine with 100% scalability and zero percent sharing.
- **Isolation:** Dedicated Cloud is documented as providing 100% bandwidth without noisy neighbors, with isolated resources dedicated to a single client.
- **Throughput:** Documented as multiple high-speed Tier-1 uplinks to deliver 2Tbps network throughput.
- **Deployment:** Deploy and customize via LayerPanel API; dedicated hypervisor virtualization can host multiple virtual machines on a single physical server operating separately.
- **Security linkage:** Dedicated Cloud includes private communication with Global Private Network and anti-DDoS protection.

To act, create an account from the [DDoS Protection page](https://www.layerstack.com/en/ddos-protection) for US$51.00/mth protection, or review [Load Balancers](https://www.layerstack.com/en/load-balancers) and [Dedicated Cloud](https://www.layerstack.com/en/dedicated-cloud) pricing before deployment.
