Understanding DDoS Protection for Game Servers

Malicious attacks are a major cause of downtime for successful servers. Learn how to protect yours.

December 5, 2025 10 min read

A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack tries to overwhelm your server with fake traffic, preventing real players from connecting. In competitive games such as Minecraft and Hytale, this can damage your community.

Common Types of Attacks

  • Volumetric (L3/L4): Flood the network's bandwidth. Our protection absorbs terabits of traffic before it reaches your server.
  • Application (L7): Simulate real players or rapidly connecting bots. These attacks are harder to detect, but our AI identifies unusual patterns instantly.

How Does HaskHosting Mitigation Work?

We use a traffic scrubbing system located in Brazil. Traffic passes through our filters, which discard malicious packets and send only clean traffic to your server. This happens in microseconds to keep ping from rising.
