A lot of companies and people believe that virtual private servers (VPS) or ddos protected VPS are a great idea because they provide almost no security. However, these types of virtual private servers have some major drawbacks that leave many users not able to use them for their purpose. The main drawback is the fact that there are not many tools that are used to mitigate or to defend against Ddos attacks. In this article, I will be discussing the ways in which you should secure your VPS or your virtual private server from the various Ddos attacks.

One of the most common ways in which VPS can be attacked is through its traffic. The attacker first creates an image of the web server, which he will later use to send out the spam or the automated messages. Apart from that, there are also other ways in which the attacker might be able to access or control your VPS. These include scripts, applications and other systems. If any of these are compromised, you may experience a lot of problems such as unauthorized access to your data and files, system crashes, downtime and denial of service.

Most of the providers of VPS and virtual private servers provide DoS protection. This kind of protection will prevent your server from being attacked by any user who has permission to connect to it. It is also called DoS protection or defense-in-depth. A lot of providers automatically offer DoS protection when you sign up for their service.

Another way in which DDoS protected VPS attack protection can be provided is with the help of mitigation tools. You can use software such as eDoSShaper to block unwanted traffic. eDoSShaper is a tool that will allow you to block traffic based on the rules that you set. It works in both the prevention and the mitigation of DDoS attacks. You can set rules for DDoS attacks or for normal traffic to flow through your server.

Aside from using eDoSShaper, another way of mitigating unwanted traffic is to resort to a virtual private server (VPS). Using a VPS will give you increased security and will give your company the opportunity to increase its level of security and functionality. In addition to that, a VPS offers a cost saving method. Most VPSs are considerably cheaper than dedicated hosting plans offered by a typical web hosting company.

In addition to using eDoSShaper and other mitigation tools, you should also employ measures to protect yourself against other threats. For instance, installing firewalls is a good idea. Virtual private servers and dedicated firewalls work best in this case. You should be especially careful about port forwarding as well. In essence, you should install the latest firewall versions available to ensure the prevention of both DOS and packet sniffing.

Another option to take for preventing DOS attacks is the use of web service security (WS-S) and content filtering. If you are running a web service application that exposes IP-based data (such as a VoIP service), you will need to configure your application to filter on sensitive ports. This will prevent DOS attacks by attackers who send request to web services with sensitive information such as credit card numbers. Moreover, you can use content filters to enforce policies regarding what types of data can be sent over specific internet connections. If you want to be able to defend against HTTP flood attacks, you can do so by allowing only trusted clients to make use of your website's public data and communicate with it.

Finally, you should also consider the types of applications being used by your visitors and evaluate if they are frequently using resources more than required. Excessive resource usage can lead to an overload of data that takes up resources and slows down your web server. The excessive traffic created by these applications may be the cause of the attack. If you feel that your website doesn't require that much bandwidth, you should still apply the various protection techniques mentioned above.
