Included With Every DDoS-Protected VPS

Protection is not an upsell here. It is on by default, on every plan, at no extra cost.

Always-On Mitigation

Protection runs continuously from the moment your VM boots — no "kick-in" delay while an attack ramps up.

L3/L4 + L7 Filtering

Volumetric SYN, UDP and ICMP floods and Layer 7 application attacks are scrubbed before they reach you.

Multi-PoP Anycast

Toronto, Frankfurt and Singapore absorb floods across sites, so no single link takes the full hit.

$0 Extra · Ryzen NVMe

Free forever on Ryzen 9 9950X + Gen4 NVMe, with hourly billing and a free trial. Competitors charge for this.

How SucuraGuard Protects Your VPS

A DDoS-protected VPS is only as good as the network in front of it. Ours detects in under a second and scrubs both the flood and the application attack — then hands your VM clean traffic.

Sub-second detection

Traffic to your VPS is continuously baselined. When a flood begins, anomalous volume is identified in under a second and mitigation engages automatically — you do not open a ticket or flip a switch.

L3/L4 volumetric scrubbing

SYN floods, UDP floods, ICMP floods, and amplification and reflection attacks are dropped at the edge. Only legitimate packets are forwarded to your instance, so the flood never reaches your CPU or uplink.

Layer 7 application defense

Application-layer attacks that mimic real users — HTTP request floods against web and game backends — are filtered so your service stays responsive under pressure, not just online.

2Tbps+ distributed capacity

2Tbps+ of aggregate scrubbing capacity is spread across three continents. A large multi-vector attack is diluted across points of presence rather than concentrated on one site, keeping latency low for real users.

Free Always-On Beats Pay-Per-Attack

Many hosts meter mitigation, gate it behind an add-on, or only enable it after an attack is detected. We do the opposite.

No add-on line item

Providers like Vultr charge extra for DDoS protection or bill per protected IP. Every Sucura VPS includes it free — the $6.72/mo plan is protected exactly like the $110/mo plan.

Always on, not reactive

Reactive scrubbing means your service is already down for the seconds it takes to redirect traffic. Always-on mitigation is in path before the first flood packet arrives.

Absorbed across sites

Because your IP is anycast, an attack sourced from many regions is spread across Toronto, Frankfurt and Singapore and absorbed close to origin — not funnelled into one overloaded gateway.

Our own network (AS398999)

Canadian-owned, running our own ASN and points of presence — not a reseller layering someone else's scrubbing on top. Real operators you can actually reach.

SucuraGuard Anycast DDoS Protection — Included FREE

Every VPS is protected by always-on anycast mitigation across three continents. Volumetric L3/L4 floods and L7 application attacks are filtered with sub-second detection and 2Tbps+ of distributed scrubbing — at no extra cost, while competitors charge for it.

Multi-PoP Anycast: Toronto · Frankfurt · Singapore

A single scrubbing site is a single choke point. We spread protection across three continents so floods are diluted, not concentrated — and so an anti-DDoS VPS in Europe stays fast for European users.

Anti-DDoS VPS in Europe

Frankfurt is our primary European scrubbing hub, with single-digit-millisecond latency to major EU cities. It is the natural home for a protected VPS serving European gaming, voice and web traffic.

North America — Toronto

Our Canadian flagship terminates North American traffic close to origin, so floods from the region are scrubbed on the continent instead of crossing an ocean first.

APAC — Singapore

Singapore anchors the network in Asia-Pacific, absorbing floods sourced from the region and keeping latency low for APAC users during an event.

Place it near your audience

Deploy the protected VPS at the PoP closest to your players or customers. The same free always-on mitigation applies at every location.

Protected Hardware: Ryzen 9 9950X + NVMe

Game servers and web apps are the most common DDoS targets — so they need clock speed as well as a shield. Our protected VMs run current-generation desktop-class silicon, not years-old datacenter EPYC.

16C / 32T up to 5.7GHz

The Ryzen 9 9950X (Zen 5) delivers class-leading single-thread throughput — the metric that decides FiveM, Minecraft and low-latency app responsiveness, especially while under attack.

Gen4 NVMe storage

KVM guests sit on fast NVMe for responsive disk I/O and consistent latency under load, with no noisy-neighbour SATA bottleneck.

DDR5 memory

High-bandwidth DDR5 keeps memory-bound workloads fed, from databases and caches to game and voice servers that draw attacks.

Full root / admin access

KVM virtualization with your choice of Linux or Windows images, console access, and complete control of your instance — protection sits in front, you keep the keys.

DDoS-Protected VPS FAQ

Common questions about always-on anycast anti-DDoS on Sucura virtual machines.

Is DDoS protection really free on every VPS?

Yes. Every Sucura VPS includes always-on anycast SucuraGuard DDoS mitigation at no extra cost — there is no add-on line item, no per-attack fee, and no upgrade tier to unlock it. Protection is enabled the moment your VM is provisioned. Many providers such as Vultr charge extra or meter mitigation; we bundle it free on every plan, from the $6.72/mo VM-1C-2G up.

What kinds of DDoS attacks does the VPS filter?

SucuraGuard filters both network-layer and application-layer attacks. That covers L3/L4 volumetric floods — SYN floods, UDP floods, ICMP floods, amplification and reflection — as well as L7 application attacks that target web and game services. Malicious traffic is scrubbed and only clean traffic is delivered to your VPS.

How does always-on anycast mitigation work?

Your VPS IP is announced from an anycast network with points of presence in Toronto, Frankfurt and Singapore. Because the same address lives at multiple sites, an incoming flood is spread across the network and absorbed close to its source instead of piling onto one link. Detection is sub-second and mitigation is always on, so there is no delay while protection "kicks in" after an attack starts.

How much scrubbing capacity is behind the VPS?

The anycast network provides 2Tbps+ of aggregate scrubbing capacity across three continents. Because capacity is distributed rather than concentrated at a single site, large multi-vector attacks are diluted across points of presence, which keeps latency low for legitimate users during an event.

How much does a DDoS-protected VPS cost?

Plans start at $6.72 per month for VM-1C-2G (1 vCPU, 2GB RAM) and scale to VM-8C-32G at $110.21/mo — DDoS protection included at every tier. Billing is hourly from $0.010/hr with a monthly cap, so you only pay for the runtime you use. A free trial is available. Prices are shown in USD and are tax-inclusive.

What hardware do the protected VMs run on?

Every DDoS-protected VPS runs on an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (16 cores / 32 threads, up to 5.7GHz) with Gen4 NVMe storage and DDR5 memory, using KVM virtualization with full root or administrator access. High single-thread clock speed makes them ideal for game servers, web apps and latency-sensitive workloads that are common DDoS targets.

Can I get a DDoS-protected VPS in Europe?

Yes. Frankfurt is our primary European scrubbing hub and a natural home for an anti-DDoS VPS serving EU users, with single-digit-millisecond latency to major European cities. The same free always-on protection is also available in Toronto and Singapore, so you can place the VPS closest to your audience.
