About This Feature
DDoS Protection Hosting in the UK from Glitch Servers provides always-on volumetric DDoS mitigation at the network edge - backed by AMD Ryzen hardware, NVMe Gen4 storage, and UK-native routing through AS212868. DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks target UK hosting infrastructure with increasing frequency - game servers, e-commerce sites, forums, and VPN servers are all common targets. Many hosting providers null-route attacked IPs, taking them offline until the attack passes. Our UK hosting takes a different approach: always-on volumetric DDoS mitigation absorbs attacks without null-routing, keeping your server online even during sustained UDP floods. DDoS protection is included on every plan at no extra charge.
DDoS mitigation at Glitch Servers operates through Corero Smartwall - an inline hardware scrubbing solution that processes traffic at line rate before it reaches the protected server. Unlike cloud-based scrubbing centres that redirect traffic via DNS or BGP, inline mitigation requires zero manual intervention and zero failover delay: protection is always active from the moment traffic enters the network.
AS212868 maintains connectivity to LINX and LONAP with Tier-1 transit through NTT and GTT. The 100G DWDM backbone provides sufficient headroom to absorb large volumetric attacks - typically hundreds of Gbps - without saturating uplinks to the rest of the facility. Attack traffic is dropped at the edge; clean traffic continues to the server without disruption.
All Glitch hosting plans include DDoS protection at no additional charge. Full details on attack mitigation thresholds and protection specifications are on the DDoS protection page.

Use Cases
This feature is particularly well suited to these workloads and teams.
Minecraft networks, FiveM servers, and competitive gaming platforms that face volumetric DDoS attacks from rival servers or griefers - Corero Smartwall mitigates attacks inline without routing traffic off-path.
Software platforms with SLAs that cannot tolerate downtime - DDoS protection ensures API availability during attacks targeting infrastructure disruption rather than data theft.
Organisations in regulated sectors (finance, healthcare) where availability is a compliance requirement - documented DDoS mitigation satisfies ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials audit requirements.
