DDoS attacks against Indian servers are increasing every year — targeting Discord bots, game servers, websites, and SaaS applications. Finding the best DDoS protected VPS in India that filters attacks instead of switching your server off is essential for uptime-critical workloads.
HeavenCloud provides the best DDoS protected VPS in India with 100 Gbps HVNC Shield inline hardware scrubbing on every India VPS plan, from ₹670/mo (₹402 with code HVNC40) on AMD EPYC 7C13 to ₹2,200/mo on Ryzen 9 9950X.
HVNC Shield — How DDoS Protection Works
HeavenCloud's HVNC Shield is an inline hardware scrubbing system that filters malicious traffic before it reaches your VPS:
- Always-On: DDoS protection is active 24/7 — not triggered by detection delays.
- Inline Filtering: Traffic passes through HVNC Shield hardware at the network edge with sub-1ms overhead.
- 100 Gbps Capacity: Handles volumetric attacks up to 100 Gbps without impacting your server.
- Filtering first: Attacks are filtered so your server stays online. In rare cases of very large or long-running attacks, the targeted IP may be null-routed for a while to protect other customers.
- Multi-Vector: Mitigates L3/L4 volumetric floods AND L7 application-layer attacks.

What happens during a very large attack
Most Indian budget VPS providers use basic mitigation that handles 5–10 Gbps maximum:
- Attack exceeds what filtering can absorb → the provider may null-route the targeted IP for a while. This can happen on any host, including HeavenCloud, during very large or long-running attacks.
- Your server goes offline for 30–60 minutes (or longer).
- You lose customers, gaming sessions disconnect, bots go offline.
HeavenCloud difference: HVNC Shield filters attacks inline at up to 100 Gbps, so your server stays online during most attacks.
DDoS Protection for Specific Use Cases
Gaming Servers (Minecraft, FiveM)
Game servers are the #1 DDoS target in India. HVNC Shield keeps your Minecraft SMP and FiveM RP servers online during targeted attacks. Managed alternatives: Minecraft Hosting and FiveM Hosting.
Discord & Telegram Bots
Bot hosting on DDoS protected VPS ensures your bot stays online even during server raids. Managed alternative: Bot Hosting from ₹20/mo.
Websites & eCommerce
100 Gbps DDoS protection prevents your Indian website or eCommerce store from going offline during attacks — no lost sales or SEO ranking drops.
SaaS & APIs
Production APIs need DDoS protection to maintain availability. HVNC Shield's inline filtering adds sub-1ms overhead while protecting against volumetric and L7 attacks.

What attack types does HVNC Shield protect against?
HVNC Shield mitigates UDP floods, SYN floods, TCP amplification, DNS reflection, NTP amplification, ICMP floods, HTTP floods (L7), slowloris, and multi-vector DDoS attacks. Filtering happens inline, at the network edge.
Can I get more than 100 Gbps DDoS protection?
Yes. HeavenCloud enterprise tiers include multi-Tbps Cloudflare Magic Transit DDoS protection (up to 500 Tbps network capacity). Contact sales for enterprise DDoS plans at /service/india-ddos-protection.
What is a null-route, and does HeavenCloud ever use one?
A null-route (blackhole) drops all traffic to one IP, which takes that server offline but protects the rest of the network. HeavenCloud filters attacks first. If an attack is very large or keeps going for a long time, the targeted IP may be null-routed for a while to protect other customers.
Is DDoS protected VPS good for gaming servers in India?
Absolutely. Gaming servers (Minecraft, FiveM, GTA RP) are frequent DDoS targets. HeavenCloud DDoS protected VPS keeps your game server online during attacks while maintaining 15–40ms Indian latency. Managed game hosting also includes DDoS protection.
Is DDoS protection included for Discord bots on India VPS?
Yes. Discord bots hosted on HeavenCloud India VPS are protected by 100 Gbps HVNC Shield. For managed bot hosting with DDoS, use /service/premium-discord-bot-hosting from ₹20/mo.
