Does WPX Hosting Offer Any Kind Of DDOS Protection?

As a part of our ongoing, high-performance evolution at WPX Hosting, we added Enterprise level DDOS protection to all WPX Hosting customers’ websites with Incapsula, an industry leader in DDOS protection, on July 22 2016.

You can read about how effective this protection is for your site/s here - even against much larger DDOS attacks:

This extra DDOS protection does NOT cost anything extra for our current WPX Hosting customers and would normally be in the region of at least $299 per website per month with Incapsula directly (we are actually using a higher Enterprise plan than the $299 one listed below):
