Our advanced ddos-mitigation system filters traffic consisting of denial of service attacks, as well as distributed denial of service attacks on three levels. The primary level is intended as an overlay mitigation system that pattern matches a database of documented attacks, as well as generalized undocumented malicious traffic patterns.

The second level features a very robust dynamically adjusting traffic control backplane that readily adapts to network changes to control traffic flow accordingly. The third level features a unique and very powerful traffic control backplane similar to level 2 but with far more detailed detection of dos and ddos that do not get readily marked by the primary two levels.

Together, our system offers effective, seamless, and unintrusive filtering of more than 99% of all dos and ddos traffic aimed at any host on our network.

Thank you.

I forgot to add that we have extended our special custom firewalling option until the end of July. This system allows customers to input custom firewalling rules into our routers. Each customer is allowed 5 free rules until the end of July. More rules can be purchased from our client services area :)

You use private vlan to every server? (not be effected by attacks to other servers) ?
you can make a better price for a full c-class of IPs (for irc) ? or it will be 254$ ?
bandwidth is both in + out? (meaning that if i get attack you will change me that bandwidth?)

Thanks

A private vlan is unrelated to servers being affected by other servers during attacks. We take advantage of VLANs but we utilize other methods to protect single servers against each other during attacks. IRC IPs are not discounted currently. Bandwidth is the greater of in or out based on 95th percentile calculation. However, we will not bill based on inbound if an attack impairs your graph.

Let me know if you have more questions :)

Some more :)

Uplink description? and mbit/gbit with each one provider?
the thing about IPs you didnt answer about 254 IPs
and also about your ddos protection, many people in that forum suggest you for irc hosting, but i think you use nullroute althought you have ddos protection right? in how much big attacks you use it? (i am asking because when an IP is nullrouted its like getting ddos attacks in irc and the client will quit irc network or the server will netsplit)

Thanks

I believe I did address the IPs - IPs are $1/month each for IRC hosting. You can get as many as you want. We filter up to roughly 1.5gbps right now with plans for expansion up to about 3.5gbps within the next 30 days. Anything over that will be nullrouted. We currently utilize Above.net and NRS with a second gigabit to Above.net scheduled and a gigabit to Cogent.

We are having a Post-Independence Day Special - IRC IPs can be purchased at a discounted rate of $0.60/month each! Take advantage of this offer soon because it ends 7/11/05!

I want dual xeon but set-up is out of my budget :'(

Unfortunately to keep the monthly low we have to place a setup. We can remove the $99 setup and increase the monthly by $29 :)

Would the $29 be added forever as long as I have the server or until it reaches the $99 :)

Forever. It's to your advantage to take the setup fee.

Do you offer windows, if now what about cpanel and how much.

We do not offer Windows or CPanel. We do, however, offer DirectAdmin for $14/month.
