toplayer_logo.gif (3533 bytes) TheHostServer.com Now Offering Advanced "Denial
Of Service" Protection - Free To All Customers
All customers on all servers at the TheHostServer.com data center are now protected by the Top Layer IPS 5500 system, the leading  commercially available anti Denial of Service (DoS) technology.

When a DoS attack is launched against any server, or any individual website, on our network, the Top Layer system automatically allows the maximum amount of legitimate traffic through to the server while rejecting the maximum amount of illegitimate traffic.


Top Layer's IPS 5500 provides worldwide enterprises, service providers, and governments with complete Three Dimensional Protection (3DP). The IPS 5500's 3DP uniquely provides the broadest range of protection available on the market including:

  • Protection against malicious content through advanced IPS technology
  • Protection against undesired access through stateful firewall filtering
  • Protection against rate-based attacks such as DDoS attacks through DDoS mitigation

We have deployed the IPS 5500 at the perimeter of our network, outside all servers and firewalls, so that all servers are protected. 

Top Layer is the highest rated solution by Information Security Magazine, and the only solution we tested that was able to stop simulated high volume DDoS attacks.

The IPS 5500 provides:

  • High Performance = The highest throughput and leading stateful session setup rates ensure excellent network performance.
  • Lowest Network Latency = At <50 uSec there's no interruption to critical applications.
  • Reliability and High Availability = ProtectionCluster H/A configurations, port bypass and redundant power all ensure reliability.
  • Easy to Deploy and Manage = Multiple units can be easily managed with Top Layer's Secure Command+ centralized management system.
  • Stays current on emerging threats = TopResponse™ Update Service's Automated Protection Pack updates keep threat information current.

This is the most comprehensive coverage currently available against a broad variety of Denial of Service attacks.

This service is 100% automatic and 100% free. There is no need to sign-up.
