VPSBG Boosting Cloud Hosting Security with StormWall’s DDoS Protection

By partnering with StormWall, VPSBG now ensures uninterrupted service with advanced DDoS protection, boosting security, uptime, and client satisfaction.

Customer: VPSBG

StormWall is expanding in Eastern Europe, with Bulgaria emerging as one of its most dynamic growth areas. In the area, our solutions are represented by Neterra, StormWall’s primary regional partner. Neterra delivers a wide range of essential telecom and advanced IT solutions to clients throughout Bulgaria. As part of its partnership with StormWall, Neterra provides clients access to StormWall’s cloud-based DDoS protection and cybersecurity services. 

One such Neterra client requiring a tailored solution was VPSBG—a privacy-driven cloud hosting provider dedicated to delivering secure, reliable, and high-performance hosting services. Founded in 2013, and based in Bulgaria, the company champions privacy, with its custom-built Bitcoin payment processor and rejection of third-party cookies being just some examples of its commitment. Known for providing powerful, high-performance Cloud VPS and VDS services with AMD EPYC CPUs and NVMe SSDs, VPSBG serves businesses requiring seamless and secure hosting solutions.

With a strong focus on privacy and performance, VPSBG has become a trusted name in the industry, supporting global clients while ensuring data security.

Business Challenge: Managing DDoS Attacks and Maintaining Uptime

For a cloud hosting provider like VPSBG, uptime is paramount. Any downtime can result in substantial financial loss and reputational damage. With clients relying on their services 24/7, even the smallest disruption could shake client trust.

Since its inception, VPSBG has faced frequent DDoS attacks. In 2014, when attacks started to grow in complexity, the company realized its existing anti-DDoS provider was no longer sufficient. Their initial provider lacked robust features, had limited insights into the nature of the attacks, and lagged behind in innovation, leaving VPSBG exposed to risks and dissatisfied with their service.

The stakes were clear: VPSBG needed a more advanced and reliable DDoS protection provider that could evolve with the shifting threat landscape.

Solution: StormWall is a Game-changer

Seeking an enhanced solution, VPSBG turned to Neterra, which recommended StormWall for its powerful and reliable DDoS protection. After a comprehensive evaluation of available options, VPSBG chose to partner with StormWall. 

StormWall provided VPSBG with real-time, detailed analytics on each attack, allowing them to assess the type, scope, and behavior of every attempt. This in-depth insight helped VPSBG better understand their threat landscape and fine-tune their defenses.

The Client Portal offered by StormWall allowed VPSBG to adjust protection settings in ways their previous provider couldn’t, giving them the flexibility to tailor defenses to their evolving needs. Integration was straightforward as well: StormWall’s API aligned seamlessly with VPSBG’s systems, including their billing and monitoring functions, which made the transition smooth and minimally disruptive.

With over 4.5TB in filtering capacity and extensive global coverage, StormWall reinforced VPSBG’s infrastructure, ensuring it remained resilient against even high-volume attacks. Additionally, the support team at StormWall proved highly reliable and responsive, delivering critical assistance whenever VPSBG faced challenging situations.

These features, along with StormWall’s innovative drive and the continuous improvement of its services, distinguished it from the competition.

Deployment:  Seamless Integration with Long-term Benefits

Transitioning to StormWall was efficient, though not without its challenges. Switching from an asymmetrical setup with their previous provider to StormWall’s symmetrical system required careful planning. VPSBG had to ensure both their network and website protection were seamlessly integrated. StormWall’s support team played a crucial role in making the switch painless.

Once deployed, the new protection setup allowed VPSBG to analyze both incoming and outgoing traffic in real time, leading to faster detection and response times to DDoS attacks. This symmetry improved response accuracy, reduced false positives, and ensured uninterrupted uptime, much to the delight of their customers.

Measurable Results: The Benefits of StormWall Protection

After six months of using StormWall’s solution, VPSBG saw remarkable improvements in their operations: they experienced zero downtime during attacks. Unlike before, when attacks would cause brief interruptions, VPSBG’s services remained fully operational during DDoS incidents.

Faster attack mitigation became possible thanks to StormWall’s real-time detection and high filtering capacity, allowing attacks to be identified and neutralized quickly. Additionally, network performance improved significantly, with reduced congestion ensuring that VPSBG’s network continued to run smoothly, even under stress.

These enhancements had a positive impact on client satisfaction as well. VPSBG’s customers noticed the improvements in uptime and reliability, which in turn boosted their trust and loyalty.

The comprehensive attack insights from StormWall also allowed VPSBG to continuously refine their security protocols, providing a more secure hosting experience for their clients.

VPSBG Perspective

VPSBG is more than satisfied with their decision to partner with StormWall. The real-time analytics, smooth deployment, and robust attack mitigation have made a noticeable difference in their ability to maintain a reliable and secure service.

Their customers, in turn, have reacted positively to the enhanced protection, reinforcing VPSBG’s reputation as a secure and privacy-oriented hosting provider.
