What protection do I have against DDoS attacks?

A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack floods a website with huge volumes of fake traffic from many sources at once, trying to overwhelm it so real visitors cannot get through. Dirham A Day has protections in place, and there are steps you can take too.

What we provide:

• Network-level filtering and our CSF firewall with connection-rate limits to absorb and block abusive traffic.
• LFD to ban IPs showing attack behaviour.
• High-performance NVMe servers with capacity to handle traffic spikes.

What you can add:

• Put your site behind a CDN/proxy such as Cloudflare, which is very effective at absorbing large DDoS attacks and hiding your server's real IP. Remember to set its SSL mode to Full.
• Enable rate limiting and caching so your application copes better under load.

If you believe you are under a sustained attack, for example your site is suddenly unreachable with a massive traffic surge, contact our 24/7 UAE-based team immediately on WhatsApp +971 58 553 6767 or support@dirhamaday.ae. We can apply additional firewall rules, block offending ranges, and advise on mitigation. Manage your services any time at my.dirhamaday.ae.
