The best protection against a large-scale DDOS attack
Your first and only line of defence against a large-scale DDOS attack. DDOS Shield takes advantage of the power of the PEER 1 Hosting network – no other hosting provider can claim a network or network protection like us!!!
Our DDOS Shield protects your mission-critical online presence by leveraging our high capacity network infrastructure and geographical diversity to distribute an Inbound DDOS attack, greatly reducing the impact on your infrastructure. We've partnered with world class security and network partners Juniper® as well as leverage homegrown utilities to provide a carrier-class firewall and DDOS mitigation system in locations across the PEER 1 Hosting SuperNetwork™ that are capable of handling multi-Gigabits of traffic protection!!!

Our large network presence in multiple cities means that incoming DDOS attacks arrive through different upstreams and peering connections. During regular traffic levels there is no difference between a normal ISP-level shared firewall and the DDOS Shield. When a DOS/DDOS larger than a pre-determined amount occurs, our network operation center (NOC) is notified. Once they have determined that the attack is sustained, you have the option of engaging the DDOS Shield. Once the DDOS Shield is engaged, we take the attacked IP and redirect it to the node closest to the ingress point of the attack.
Once the traffic hits the node, it is inspected and dropped if necessary. The legitimate 'scrubbed' traffic is then safely forwarded via a secure tunnel to the city where your production servers reside. Your online presence can function normally through most high-level DDOS attacks that would have otherwise crippled your solution.
