ZAP-Hosting DDoS Protection
Introduction
DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks are malicious attempts to disrupt the normal traffic of a targeted server, service or network by overwhelming it with a flood of internet traffic. To ensure uninterrupted service for our customers, ZAP-Hosting uses proven DDoS protection solutions, tailored to the data center location.
