What technologies or strategies do hosting providers use to mitigate DDoS attacks? Should I pay extra for this feature?
 
DDoS protection works by identifying and filtering malicious traffic before it reaches your server. Key strategies include:
  1. Traffic Scrubbing: Redirects and cleans incoming traffic.
  2. Rate Limiting: Caps the number of requests per second.
  3. Cloud Mitigation: Uses globally distributed networks to absorb attacks.
It’s recommended to choose hosting providers with built-in DDoS protection, especially if your website is critical or frequently targeted.
