Question 1

Is DDoS protection included with every Over The Top: WWI server?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Over The Top: WWI server we host includes always-on Terabit DDoS protection at no extra cost. There is no separate add-on, no per-attack billing, and no traffic ceiling that suddenly changes the deal mid-incident.

Question 2

What kinds of attacks does Terabit mitigate against Over The Top: WWI servers?

Accepted Answer

Volumetric floods, protocol abuse, application-layer attacks, and traffic patterns specific to Over The Top: WWI — including source-engine queries, handshake floods, and large-scale bot attacks. Our filtering stack is tuned on a game-by-game basis for the best protection on the market.

Question 3

Will mitigation add latency to my server?

Accepted Answer

Our always-on mitigation stack is anycasted, inline, in-house and is designed to add zero latency for players in-game even during active attacks.

Question 4

What happens if my server is targeted by a large attack?

Accepted Answer

Our network has 500+ Tbps of edge capacity and 13+ Tbps of stateful mitigation capacity for any leaks that get past the edge, ensuring that your server stays online even under the largest attacks. We have never had to drop traffic from a Terabit-protected server due to capacity constraints and we never will.

Question 5

What if an attack leaks through the protection?

Accepted Answer

As we operate our own network and mitigation infrastructure, we are able to rapidly respond to any attack leaks and update our filters on the fly without needing to wait for a third-party or upstream provider. Just open a ticket and if we haven't already noticed then we'll get to work on it immediately. Your success is our success, so we don't rest until the attack is fully mitigated.

Question 6

Can I get a dedicated IP with my game server?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Every game server by default comes with a shared IP address with the same level of protection as our dedicated IPs, but you can also request a dedicated IP for your server if you prefer and ask for your other servers in the same location to use the same IP.

Question 7

How does Terabit compare to OVH, Hetzner, or Nitrado for Over The Top: WWI hosting?

Accepted Answer

Most game server hosts ship single-layer mitigation designed to only protect their network and other customers. We operate a triple-layer mitigation pipeline with game-aware filters and A2S caching to ensure the best protection possible for Over The Top: WWI servers.
