Protected by PletX.net.
Every CarlHost service sits behind PletX.net. Traffic is filtered before it reaches your server, so attacks don't take your game, website or network offline.
Attack traffic never reaches you.

Anti-DDoS questions
Does DDoS protection cost extra?
No. It is included in every CarlHost service.
Do I have to turn it on?
No. It is always on and needs no setup for common services.
Does it protect websites?
PletX.net focuses on network-level attacks. For websites that need protection against HTTP attacks, we recommend a web proxy such as Cloudflare in front of your site.
What if my service is not recognised?
Unknown protocols are handled with generic rules, which can occasionally block valid traffic. Open a ticket and we will help set up the right filter.
