Layer 7 Anti-DDoS for your websites and APIs

Q: Does the challenge slow down my site?

No. The JavaScript challenge runs in the background and is completely transparent to human visitors. Only bots and malicious scripts are blocked or shown a waiting page.

Q: Does it work with my current hosting provider?

Yes. Layer 7 protection works with any hosting provider. It sits upstream via a DNS redirect or reverse proxy, without touching your existing server.

Q: What is the difference with L3/L4 Anti-DDoS?

L3/L4 protection filters volumetric network attacks (UDP floods, SYN floods). Layer 7 targets application attacks (HTTP floods, bots, API abuse). Both are complementary and can be combined.

Q: What does this service cost?

Pricing depends on your traffic volume and service configuration. Contact our team for a custom quote.

A smart challenge placed in front of your site or API filters bots and HTTP attacks. Set up in minutes, no migration required.

What is Layer 7?

HTTP requests that mimic your visitors, harder to spot than volumetric attacks.

HTTP Flood

Thousands of GET or POST requests per second hit your heaviest pages until the web server and database are overwhelmed. Above a requests-per-second threshold, the IP has to pass the challenge; if it keeps going, it gets banned.
Botnet

Thousands of infected machines each send a few requests, too few to trip a per-IP limit. As soon as the attack is detected, every unverified visitor goes through the challenge, which botnet scripts cannot solve.
Slowloris

The attacker opens hundreds of connections and sends HTTP headers a few bytes at a time, never finishing the request, until the server runs out of connections. The protection cuts these slow connections before they reach your server.
API Abuse

A bot calls the same endpoint in a loop: login to test stolen passwords (credential stuffing), search or export to pull your data. The protection limits calls per endpoint and per IP (rate limiting) and bans IPs that keep getting rejected.
SSL/TLS Flood

Every HTTPS connection starts with a TLS handshake, which costs the server more computing power than the client: a few thousand per second are enough to max out the CPU. With the protection, these handshakes happen on our filtering servers, not on yours.
Scraping

Bots crawl your site page by page to copy your content, prices or catalog. Beyond a human reading pace, they have to pass the challenge; verified Google and Bing crawlers always get through.

Included features

Complete Layer 7 protection without complex configuration.

JavaScript Challenge: Silently verifies that the visitor is a real browser in the background. Transparent for users, blocking for bots.
Smart Rate Limiting: Automatic limiting of requests per IP and per endpoint. Protects your APIs from scraping and brute force attacks.
Behavioral Detection: Analyzes traffic patterns in real time to identify and block suspicious behavior without false positives.
User-Agent Filtering: Blocking of known bots, scrapers and attack tools identified by their HTTP signature.
SSL/TLS Protection: Mitigation of SSL abuse and HTTPS flood attacks that aim to saturate your server's encryption layer.
Quick setup: Activation in minutes via DNS redirect or reverse proxy. No code changes to your application.

Which services?

Layer 7 protection adapts to all types of web services exposed on the internet.

Websites & E-commerce: Protect your online store against scraping bots, form attacks and HTTP floods that slow down your site.
REST & GraphQL APIs: Secure your API endpoints against abuse, data scraping and credential stuffing attacks.
Game Panels & Dashboards: Protect your admin interfaces and game server management panels (Pterodactyl, etc.) against targeted attacks.
Critical Web Applications: CMS, forums, SaaS tools or payment services: any internet-facing application can be protected in minutes.

I'm really happy, my Xeon VPS works super well, I host several sites on it without any issues as well as my Discord bot! I recommend it

I rented a VPS from them, it's the best value for money I've found in France. Usually I rent my VPS in Germany because it's cheaper, but the servers have a bit of ping to France. Here they have a French datacenter so it's great, and for the price I'm not disappointed with the performance

I got a dedicated server at HelloServ to host several small game servers (Minecraft + Valheim). The latency to Paris is excellent, and the value for money is just incredible!
