DDoS Protection Keep Your Site Online, Even Under Attack
Welcome to Cloudoora’s guide on DDoS Protection. A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack happens when bad actors flood your website with fake traffic, overwhelming your server so real visitors can’t get in. On this page, you’ll learn what DDoS attacks are in plain English, why they matter—even for small sites—and how Cloudoora keeps you safe and humming.
Understanding the Basics
Traffic Jam on the Internet Highway. Imagine a highway built for 100 cars a minute that suddenly sees 10,000 cars. Traffic grinds to a halt. A DDoS attack works the same way:
Botnet Flooding
Networks of infected devices (botnets) send repeated requests to overwhelm your server.
Protocol Attacks
Misuse technical rules (like SYN floods) to exhaust server resources.
Application Layer Attacks
Target specific parts of your site (e.g., HTTP form submissions) to slow it down.
Volumetric Attacks
Generate huge traffic volumes to fill up your available bandwidth.
Amplification Attacks
Exploit open services (DNS, NTP) to multiply attack traffic.
Distraction Tactics
Mask other malicious activities (like data breaches) by creating chaos.
Even Small Sites Are Targets
Guard Against Downtime & Lost Trust
Lost Revenue –
Visitors can’t reach your site, so sales and ad clicks drop.
Damaged Reputation –
Unreliable service discourages repeat traffic.
Hidden Breaches –
A DDoS attack can mask a more serious data breach.
