How to Protect Your Website from DDoS Attacks

DDoS attacks overload your website with traffic, making it inaccessible. Follow these steps to protect your site:

  1. Use Strong and Unique Admin Passwords: Simple passwords make it easier for attackers.

  2. Enable Firewall and Security Systems: Use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to filter malicious traffic.

  3. Implement a CDN (Content Delivery Network): Services like Cloudflare absorb DDoS traffic to protect your site.

  4. Monitor Server Traffic and Set Limits: Keep an eye on traffic spikes and respond to suspicious activity.

  5. Backup Your Site Regularly: Maintain regular backups to quickly restore your site if needed.

Following these steps will help secure your website against DDoS attacks.
