DDoS protection
Protection is included with the cloud server classes and is backed by attack visibility in the server-management experience.
- Included with cloud servers
- Attack visibility
- Runs at the network layer
Protection & controls
Protection should be visible and manageable.
DDoS protection and a network firewall are only useful when they connect to a practical server-management experience. NexiloHost keeps protection, access, usage, DNS, and reinstall controls close to the service.

Network layer
Two different jobs: mitigation and firewall policy.
DDoS protection helps absorb or mitigate attack traffic. Firewall rules control which traffic your server should accept. They are related, but they are not the same feature.
Network firewall
Use firewall rules to limit unwanted network access and expose only the services your workload actually needs.
- Configurable rules
- Separate from the OS firewall
- Managed around the server
Server management
The everyday controls stay in one place.
Power controls
Start and stop the server when maintenance or recovery work requires it.
SSH / RDP access
Retrieve the connection information needed to access the operating system.
Usage monitoring
Review server usage data without having to guess whether a workload has outgrown the current plan.
Reverse DNS
Manage PTR records for server IP addresses where reverse DNS is needed.
OS & app reinstall
Reinstall using an available operating system or application template. Reinstall is destructive and should be treated accordingly.
NVMe storage
All cloud classes shown on the current lineup use NVMe storage.
FAQ
Cloud protection questions.
Clear answers about what the controls actually do.
Is DDoS protection included with cloud servers?
Yes. DDoS protection is part of the cloud server offering rather than a separate marketing add-on.
Can I manage firewall rules?
Yes. The cloud server experience includes network firewall management so rules can be adjusted around the server.
Can I view DDoS activity?
The server controls include DDoS attack visibility so relevant activity can be reviewed from the service experience.
Can I change reverse DNS?
Yes. Reverse DNS management is available for server IP addresses where applicable.
Can I reinstall the server myself?
Yes. Reinstall controls support available operating-system images and application templates. Reinstalling destroys data on the server, so backups should be handled before destructive actions.
