Arbor DDoS Protection Included: Why Cheap Servers Get Expensive During Attacks

Back

Quick reality check: A cheap game server or VPS looks great — until the first DDoS hits. Then slot counts and marketing badges do not matter. Reachability does.

What often happens on budget hosts

Players see timeouts, packet loss and dead voice channels. Some providers only react after a ticket (“send the IP, we will look into it”). By then the evening or event is gone.

“DDoS protection included” frequently means a basic firewall rule, emergency nullrouting, or a paid add-on that activates too late.

What Arbor filtering changes

At NexoraHost, Arbor DDoS Protection sits in the network path — with up to 1 Tbit/s filtering capacity. Malicious traffic is dropped as early as possible instead of taking down your server or burning bandwidth.

  • Protection is not an upsell SKU — standard on VPS, root, game servers and webspace
  • Built for communities, clans, shops and any public service
  • It does not replace OS hardening — it complements it at the network layer

Bottom line

Cheap becomes expensive when your service is offline under attack. That is why Arbor-class filtering up to 1 Tbit/s is part of the product at NexoraHost — on German infrastructure, without fine print.
