DDoS protection is the filtering that spots a flood of fake requests and drops them before they fill bandwidth or CPU, so real visitors can still open the site. It leaves malware removal and backups as separate jobs. Detection, a scrubbing path, and clean traffic passing through are the three moves.
What the filter is for
A distributed denial-of-service flood uses many computers to send more requests than the site can answer. Real visitors then time out. Protection watches the flow, diverts the suspicious part, and lets ordinary browsing through. It does not clean a hacked page and it does not replace a backup.
Three shapes of flood
| Shape | What fills up |
|---|---|
| Volume | The network port, measured as a huge amount of traffic |
| Protocol | Server memory, from tricks such as half-open connections |
| Application | The page generator, from a crowd of ordinary-looking requests for one URL |
How filtering works
- Notice traffic that does not match the site's normal hour.
- Send that flow through a scrubbing path or an anycast edge.
- Drop the fake requests and pass the rest to the origin.
A content network can do this at the edge. Cloudflare is one company that sells that kind of edge filter. It is a product category, not a setting inside every hosting panel.
A flood and a real crowd
A sale can also fill CPU. Real customers still complete a checkout. A flood's requests repeat, come from networks you do not sell to, and ignore cookies and forms. Capacity for a sale is the subject of preventing a crash from traffic. The sibling glossary is malware scanning.
Where WebJi puts the filter
On WebJi hosting, network-edge filtering is included. A larger scrubbing job is quoted in INR by email before you pay. research/site_components/pricing_real.json, read 30 October 2026, lists Website Security Consultancy at ₹4,200 a year, noted there as an audit plus malware cleanup. That consultancy is an audit and cleanup, not a stated volume of flood capacity. The service page is DDoS protection. The WebJi homepage lists the hosting it sits on. support@webji.services is 24/7 in Hindi and English.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a DDoS protection service?
It detects a flood of fake requests, drops them, and lets real visitors reach the site. It does not remove malware.
What are the main types of DDoS attacks?
Volume floods fill the network port. Protocol floods exhaust server memory. Application floods hammer one page until the generator stalls.
How is a flood different from a busy sale?
A sale is real customers finishing a task. A flood repeats from networks that never buy, and it ignores forms and cookies.
Does WebJi publish a monthly DDoS price?
No standalone scrubbing price is published. Edge filtering is included on hosting. A larger job is quoted by email. research/site_components/pricing_real.json, read 30 October 2026, lists Website Security Consultancy at ₹4,200 a year, noted there as an audit plus malware cleanup.
