## Project Shield Reviews
  ### 1. Best Ddos protection I use

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Georges R. | Ingénieur informaticien, Internet, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2018

**What do you like best about Project Shield?**

It is very easy to use, it allows optimal use to ensure the safety of its site, I had no problem during use, it was perfect. It's easy and quick to set up, only 45 mins. Project Shield is a free service for news publishers and journalists, human rights' organizations, as well as election monitoring and information sites. And we are using defenses that we've built, as well as Google's infrastructure to protect these sites from DDoS—Distributed Denial of Service Attacks.

**What do you dislike about Project Shield?**

The only flaw I can find is that the project recovers logs from the server, and if Project Shield gets hacked, there will be my logs and my site can be hacked. It became pay after 30 days and is not open to all at the moment, but we could use it and it is a very interesting product!

**Recommendations to others considering Project Shield:**

Easy to use

**What problems is Project Shield solving and how is that benefiting you?**

From now on, my website runs 24/7! I had already Ddos attacks, and this is no longer the case, the load of our server was lightened. This allowed us to make a profit of 42%, because the site is available all the time and is secure, buyers are satisfied and we make much more profit than before.
