# Do your servers offer anti-DDoS protection?

## Anti-DDoS protection on Ex2 web hosting

[Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks](https://help.ex2.com/en/article/what-is-a-ddos-attack-and-how-do-i-prevent-it-s4e7i9/?bust=1676906911106) have for years been among the most common methods used by hackers to attack websites.

To protect against this type of attack, your website must be protected at the server level. This minimizes the impact and duration of such attacks.

Fortunately for you, all Ex2 managed [hosting plans](https://www.ex2.com/hosting) by default include built-in DDoS protection.

In addition, the [CDN Cloudflare](https://help.ex2.com/en/article/what-is-the-cloudflare-cdn-a3ig03/?bust=1676901592413) provides additional protection in the event of a DDoS attack. This is the I’m under attack mode, which blocks the majority of suspicious requests related to the attack.

If your site is attacked, you can [enable this mode](https://help.ex2.com/en/article/how-to-enable-the-i-am-under-attack-mode-of-cloudflare-182xtsi/?bust=1676901533172) to enjoy a second barrier of protection.
