The Problem With Fixed Monthly Plans
Most DDoS protection services charge a flat monthly fee — whether your server has 10 players or 1,000. Small communities overpay for capacity they don't use. Large servers hit limits and need expensive upgrades.
We built fiveshield differently.
How Our Pricing Works
fiveshield charges based on your daily peak concurrent player count. Every midnight (Eastern Time), we take your highest player count for the day and apply our tiered per-player pricing.
Important: pricing is progressive by tier. This means each block of players is billed at that tier's rate, not your full peak at one single rate.
Tiered Rates (CAD)
- 1–50 players — $0.045/player
- 51–100 players — $0.040/player
- 101–150 players — $0.047/player
- 151–200 players — $0.040/player
- 201–300 players — $0.040/player
- 301–500 players — $0.030/player
- 501–700 players — $0.038/player
- 701–1024 players — $0.033/player
- 1025+ players — $0.030/player
A minimum daily charge of $2.25 CAD always applies while your server is enabled — even with zero players.
