DDoS Protection

DDoS Protection Built Into The Trading Network

Layer 3/4/7 filtering helps identify and remove volumetric, protocol, and application-layer attack traffic at the network edge, before it can consume server capacity or interrupt Remote Desktop, market data, platform, and automation sessions. Included with every plan.

Shield protecting a server from DDoS traffic

Different Attacks Target Different Layers

Layer 3 floods target network capacity. Layer 4 attacks exhaust protocols and connection handling. Layer 7 attacks imitate legitimate requests until the application runs out of room to respond. ChartVPS monitors and filters across all three because an attack does not need to understand NinjaTrader, MetaTrader, or an exchange API for the timing to be terrible.

Filtering Starts Before The Server

DDoS traffic can consume bandwidth and connection capacity before Windows or the trading platform itself fails. ChartVPS applies mitigation at the network edge, where attack traffic can be filtered before it competes with Remote Desktop, market-data, broker, exchange, and platform connections. Legitimate traffic continues toward the server while the filtering layer handles the flood.

One Layer In A Managed Security Model

DDoS filtering protects the network path. The controls around it protect the server, access, and physical infrastructure.

Network Path

Layer 3/4/7 DDoS filtering helps keep attack traffic away from the server connection.

Server & Access

Hardware and software firewalls protect the server. AES-256 encrypted Remote Desktop protects access in transit.

Facility & Controls

Biometric facility controls protect the hardware. ChartVPS is SOC 2 Type I compliant and in its Type II observation window.

Included With Every Plan

Choose The Server. Protection Comes With It.

Alpha, Gamma, and Delta all include Layer 3/4/7 DDoS filtering, 24/7 network monitoring, and managed support. Prices are published, and new subscriptions keep their starting price for at least three years without requiring a three-year commitment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Layer 3 protection handles attacks aimed at network capacity and IP traffic. Layer 4 protection addresses transport and connection attacks such as TCP, UDP, and SYN floods. Layer 7 protection filters application-level requests designed to exhaust the service behind them. ChartVPS uses all three layers because DDoS attacks do not all target the same part of the path.
Every Alpha VPS, Gamma GPU VPS, and Delta dedicated server plan includes network-level DDoS protection at no extra cost. There is no setup fee or per-attack charge for the included service.
DDoS protection is available across all 12 ChartVPS data centers in seven live financial hubs: Chicago, New York, Dallas, London, Frankfurt, Tokyo, and Singapore. Sydney is planned for 2027.
Mitigation is applied at the network edge, where attack traffic can be identified and filtered before it consumes the server connection. Legitimate Remote Desktop, market-data, broker, exchange, and platform traffic continues toward the server while the filtering layer handles the attack traffic.
DDoS mitigation is built into the ChartVPS network path; it is not software the trader installs on the server. Exchange and broker latency still depends on the data center, destination, and carrier route. The 0-1ms measurement applies to specific exchange-adjacent routes, such as Chicago to CME, not to DDoS mitigation as a universal number.
No. DDoS mitigation filters large or abusive traffic patterns before they overwhelm the connection. Hardware and software firewalls control which ports, protocols, and sources can reach the server. ChartVPS uses both, and support can configure custom RDP ports and firewall rules at no extra cost.
No. DDoS protection is primarily an availability control. Malware protection, account security, password and access policies, encrypted Remote Desktop, firewall rules, and managed server configuration address different risks. Daily encrypted off-server snapshots provide a separate recovery layer.
Network-level protection is included with the plan and does not require a separate purchase. Support is available 24/7 to help with firewall rules, custom access ports, or a tighter server configuration at no extra cost.
No responsible provider can promise that every attack of every size will have no effect. Layered mitigation, network capacity, monitoring, and response reduce the risk and keep attack traffic away from the server whenever possible. The ChartVPS SLA excludes attacks beyond mitigation capacity, so the policy and the engineering tell the same story.
Yes. ChartVPS is SOC 2 Type I compliant and is currently in its Type II observation window. DDoS mitigation is one part of a broader control environment that includes facility security, encrypted access, firewalls, monitoring, and managed configuration.
