DDoS protection that stops attacks
before they reach your port.

Volumetric, protocol and application-layer attacks are absorbed and neutralised in real time by our scrubbing network — with zero impact on legitimate traffic. Included free on every VPS, dedicated server and colocation uplink. Existing customers under attack get emergency mitigation in under 30 seconds.

URLStart DDoS protection routes inbound traffic through Anycast scrubbing nodes before it reaches your server. Every packet is inspected in real time with signature matching and behavioural analysis; malicious traffic is silently dropped at the scrubbing layer and only verified clean traffic is delivered — with no latency increase for your users. It covers volumetric floods (UDP/ICMP, up to 200+ Tbps), connection floods (SYN, RST, exhaustion) and application-layer attacks, and it is included free on every plan.

01Attack layers

Protection across every attack layer.

From brute-force floods to stealthy application exploits — every known DDoS vector, covered.

Volumetric attacks

UDP/ICMP floods and bandwidth saturation. Scrubbing centres absorb spikes up to 200+ Tbps and filter the malicious volume before it touches your uplink.

Layer 3

Connection floods

SYN floods, RST floods and connection exhaustion. Advanced rules detect protocol abuse while preserving legitimate sessions.

Layer 4

Smart application attacks

Behavioural analysis identifies sophisticated application-layer attacks on your web services — catching the low-and-slow patterns that plain rate limits miss.

Layer 7

Emergency mitigation in under 30 seconds

Already a customer and under attack right now? Reach the team and mitigation is applied within thirty seconds.

02How scrubbing works

Scrubbing that works invisibly.

01

Traffic arrives

All inbound traffic routes through our Anycast scrubbing nodes before reaching your server.

02

Deep inspection

Every packet is inspected in real time using signature matching and behavioural analysis.

03

Attack dropped, clean delivered

Malicious traffic is silently dropped at the scrubbing layer — no alert, no lag. Only verified clean traffic reaches your infrastructure.

03Activation modes

Pick how the shield turns on.

Three modes, from permanent routing to a sensor that reacts for you.

Always-on monitoring

Default

All traffic is permanently routed through the scrubbing network. Zero activation delay — the safest option for critical infrastructure.

Permanent · 0 s activation

On-demand activation

Manual

Traffic flows directly to your server by default. Reroute through the scrubbing network with one click the moment you are targeted.

One click · on demand

Automated sensor trigger

Auto

A traffic sensor watches baseline patterns and flips on scrubbing automatically the instant an anomaly is detected.

Sensor · automatic
04Who needs it

One shield, every workload.

Game servers

The most attacked workload on the internet. Game-protocol filtering keeps matches running mid-raid.

07SLA & support

Uptime, support and billing — what you can hold us to.

The commitments behind the plan, stated once so there is no small print to find later.

99.5% uptime SLA

Measured monthly on network and power availability. Credits for breaches are defined in our Terms & Conditions — the SLA is a contract term, not a slogan.

Availability

Support 24/7, by engineers

Phone, WhatsApp, live chat and tickets from the client area — answered around the clock by people with console and IPMI access to the node.

Support

Monitoring and mitigation

Network and node monitoring at all hours; DDoS scrubbing in the path; emergency mitigation in under 30 seconds for customers under attack.

Operations

Snapshots and backups

Backups are your responsibility on dedicated and colocated hardware; we can add managed backup on request.

Data

Billing you can read

INR pricing, GST invoices with our UP GSTIN, UPI / cards / net banking / PayPal / crypto. Monthly or longer terms; cancel any time.

Billing

Refunds and cancellation

Cloud VPS, dedicated servers and add-ons are non-refundable except for faults on our side, per the Refund Policy. Cancel from the client area at least 7 days before renewal.

Policy
08Security & residency

Security and data residency.

Where your data physically is, who can touch it, and what stands between it and the internet.

Data stays in India

Every server is in our Tier IV datacenter in Greater Noida, Delhi NCR. Nothing is replicated abroad unless you do it.

Residency

Physical security

Access-controlled floor, CCTV, staffed security and locked cabinets, operated by the facility; our cage inside it.

Facility

Isolation

Single-tenant hardware — nobody else on the machine.

Compute

DDoS scrubbing in the path

Volumetric, protocol and application-layer mitigation on ingress, included on every plan.

Network

Your keys, your access

Root or administrator is yours from minute one. We access a node only on your ticket, and IPMI sessions are logged.

Access

Fault-tolerant power and cooling

Tier IV 2N paths with UPS and generator backing — a single failure does not reach your server.

Facility
09Migration

Moving to URLStart — free, and done by us.

Tell us where you are hosted now. We do the rest.

01

Share access

Give our engineers access to the current server or a backup. We audit what runs there and plan the move.

02

We copy and test

Data, databases and configuration are moved to your new URLStart server and tested against the live site before anything changes.

03

Cut over

DNS is switched at a time you choose. The old server stays up until you confirm — no downtime window you did not agree to.

11Network & datacenter

Scrubbing in the path, not bolted on.

The edge that scrubs traffic is our own, in front of a 10 Gbps core, in front of Tier IV racks. There is no separate "protected network" — every plan gets the same ingress path.

12Questions

Frequently asked.

Everything you need to know about protecting your infrastructure from attacks.

01What is a DDoS protection service?
A DDoS protection service monitors all incoming traffic and filters out malicious requests before they reach your servers. It acts as a shield between attackers and your infrastructure, absorbing traffic at the network, transport and application layers so your services stay online.
02How quickly can you stop an active attack?
Our scrubbing network begins blocking DDoS traffic from the very first malicious packet — mitigation activates in under 1 second. Emergency response for existing customers under active attack is under 30 seconds.
03Will DDoS protection slow down my website?
No. Our scrubbing centers are purpose-built to add zero latency to legitimate traffic. Clean requests pass through seamlessly, and most customers see improved response times thanks to reduced server load during attacks.
04What size attacks can you handle?
Our global network has 200+ Tbps of filtering capacity and regularly mitigates attacks exceeding 1 Tbps. Infrastructure scales automatically based on the size of the incoming threat.
05Do I need to change my DNS or IP?
It depends on your plan. For web-based protection, a simple DNS change routes traffic through our scrubbing centers. For infrastructure-level protection (servers, APIs), we use GRE tunnels or BGP announcements — no DNS changes required.
06Is DDoS protection included with hosting?
Basic L3/L4 DDoS mitigation is included free with all URLStart VPS and Dedicated Server plans. For advanced L7 protection with WAF, bot filtering and custom rules, you need our Shield Enterprise plan — get in touch for a custom quote.
07Can I protect multiple servers or IPs?
Yes. Shield Enterprise covers unlimited protected IPs — including entire IP blocks via BGP announcement. We size IP coverage and tunnelling (VXLAN / GRE) to your infrastructure as part of your custom quote.
08How do I monitor active attacks?
Shield Enterprise includes access to the URLStart Shield dashboard with live traffic graphs, attack maps, threat intelligence reports, instant alerts via SMS/email/webhook, and full API access for custom integrations.
09Does DDoS protection cover application-layer (L7) attacks?
Yes. Shield Enterprise inspects HTTP/HTTPS traffic for Layer 7 threats like HTTP floods, Slowloris, and malicious bot traffic, using rate limiting, JS/CAPTCHA challenges and a WAF ruleset tuned to your application — not just volumetric L3/L4 filtering.
10Will legitimate visitors ever get blocked by mistake?
Our filtering uses behavioural fingerprinting and reputation scoring rather than blunt IP blocks, which keeps false positives extremely low. If a legitimate client is ever challenged, whitelisting rules can be added instantly through the Shield dashboard or by contacting support.
