Our verdict on Psychz Networks

For a US adult site under attack, Psychz offers two routes with public prices: protect your existing host through a reverse proxy from $399 a month, or move to a dedicated server with 20 Gbps filtering included. Its SLA credits are generous, up to a full month.

Psychz remote DDoS protection

Remote protection costs a $50 base plus a mitigation tier: $349 for 10 Gbps, $749 for 20, $949 for 40, $1,199 for 100, $1,449 for 250 and $2,449 for 500 Gbps. Clean traffic is included up to 100 Mbps, with 1 Gbps at $800 extra. Connection options cost the same: reverse proxy, which needs no IP block, ASN or router, GRE tunnel, fiber cross connect or VLAN. Standard setup takes 72 hours, emergency setup 4 hours for a $250 fee. A paid seven-day trial covers the 100 Gbps protection.

Psychz protected servers

Every bare metal server includes 20 Gbps of DDoS protection against network and application-layer attacks, upgradeable to 500 Gbps. The public catalog lists 159 plans, with dedicated servers from $19.20 to $4,349 a month in sixteen cities, including Los Angeles, Ashburn, Dallas, Chicago and Atlanta. Filtering runs through fourteen scrubbing points on a network rated at 5 Tbps. VMs start at $4 a month with hourly billing, and S3-compatible object storage costs a $2 base plus $7.99 for the first TB, with no egress fees under fair use.

The Psychz SLA

Psychz promises 24-hour deployment of in-stock servers, hardware replacement within 3 hours, 15-minute first response on tickets and 99.9% network uptime. Each 30 minutes of network or power downtime earns a 5% credit, up to 100% of the monthly fee, claimed by ticket within 7 days. The terms make all payments non-refundable, though the backup page advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee.
