Free DDoS protection: what you can get
We have no fully free website protection, and we won't pretend otherwise. Some things are free though, and any paid plan can be tried for a week.
What is free
Free DNS hosting
Your domain's zone with us: records, DNSSEC, fast answers from every node. Free DNS does not protect the site's traffic, it is DNS only.
A Minecraft Java server
One server in the «Worldwide» region on the «Start» plan: up to 20 players at once under protection, no charges.
A week of site protection
Your first site on any paid plan runs 7 days free. Nothing is charged until the site works through protection.
Included in the price, no extras
L3/L4 protection in every VPS
Link and connection flood filtering is included in every server of ours. You don't buy it separately.
Certificates
We issue and renew Let's Encrypt certificates for protected sites ourselves, at no cost.
Attack size
If an attack is bigger than the plan's bandwidth, we bring in more capacity ourselves. No charge for attack volume.
Support
Write on Telegram or by email any time. We help with setup and analyse attacks on every plan.
How to start without paying
Sign up
The account is free. You don't need to top up to look around the dashboard and connect a domain.
Connect a domain or server
Move DNS to Free DNS, start a Minecraft server or connect a site for the trial week.
Decide whether to pay
If you didn't need protection during the week, cancel the subscription in the dashboard and nothing is charged.
What it costs after
Website protection from $10 a month on Basic, VPS with L3/L4 protection from $6. Free DNS and a Minecraft Java server for up to 20 players stay free with no time limit.
Free protection questions
Is there fully free website protection?
No. Free DNS is DNS hosting only: the site connects through our nameservers, but its traffic goes straight to your server. Protection needs a paid plan, and the first week is free to try.
Do I need a card for the trial week?
No. The trial starts when the site works through protection. The charge comes only when it ends and only if the balance has money.
What happens after the trial week?
The plan's monthly price is charged. If the balance is empty, the site waits for payment and we tell you in the dashboard and by email.
How long can I keep the free Minecraft server?
With no time limit, as long as it has at most 20 players at once and stays in the «Worldwide» region.
Why not make website protection free, like others do?
Someone pays for free traffic, usually through limits or ads. We keep the price low and show plainly what each plan includes.
