Cloudflare Magic Transit India is now live on GigaNodes — the first Indian hosting company to deploy it. GigaNodes, in partnership with Advika Datacenters Private Limited (AS135682), is the first Indian hosting company to deploy Cloudflare Magic Transit — making enterprise network-layer DDoS protection available on every plan, including VPS from ₹400/mo and game servers from ₹199/mo.
GigaNodes is the first Indian hosting company to deploy Cloudflare Magic Transit India — enterprise network-layer DDoS protection through a partnership with Advika Datacenters Private Limited (AS135682) at Yotta DC Noida.
Most Indian hosting providers offer DDoS protection in name only. When an attack hits, their standard response is blackholing — your IP gets null-routed, your server goes offline, and you wait. GigaNodes has changed that.
Starting May 2026, GigaNodes has deployed Cloudflare Magic Transit across its entire network through a partnership with Advika Datacenters Private Limited (ADCSPL), the infrastructure provider operating AS135682 at Yotta DC Noida. This makes GigaNodes the first Indian hosting company to offer Cloudflare Magic Transit — Cloudflare’s enterprise network product used by Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and major financial institutions globally.
What Is Cloudflare Magic Transit India — And Why It Matters
Cloudflare Magic Transit is not a software filter or a firewall — it is a network-level product that requires BGP integration between the hosting provider and Cloudflare. When deployed, all IP traffic destined for GigaNodes servers is announced via BGP to Cloudflare’s global network first. Traffic enters Cloudflare’s backbone at the nearest point of presence, gets scrubbed for malicious content, and clean traffic is forwarded to Yotta DC Noida via GRE tunnel.
This means attack traffic never reaches GigaNodes servers. A 100 Gbps UDP flood, a SYN flood, a volumetric amplification attack — all of it gets absorbed by Cloudflare’s network, which has a total capacity exceeding 100 Tbps globally. The server never sees the attack. It stays online.
The Advika Datacenters Partnership
This deployment was made possible through GigaNodes’ infrastructure partnership with Advika Datacenters Private Limited (ADCSPL). Advika operates AS135682 and provides the bare-metal infrastructure that GigaNodes runs at Yotta DC Noida — one of India’s premier Tier 4 equivalent data centers.
The Cloudflare Magic Transit deployment happens at the ASN level — meaning the protection covers GigaNodes’ entire IP space, not just individual servers. Every plan, every server, every customer benefits automatically. No configuration required.
What This Means for GigaNodes Customers
Why No Other Indian Provider Has Done This
Cloudflare Magic Transit is not something individual hosting companies can simply purchase and enable. It requires BGP-level integration at the network operator layer — meaning the data center or ISP providing your upstream connectivity needs to work directly with Cloudflare. Most Indian hosting providers do not have this level of network integration with their infrastructure partners.
GigaNodes’ partnership with Advika Datacenters made this possible. ADCSPL’s network infrastructure and their willingness to work at the BGP level with Cloudflare is what enabled this deployment — making it a first for Indian hosting.
Note: Cloudflare Magic Transit is an enterprise product — it is not available to standard Cloudflare customers or CDN users. The cost and technical requirements of deploying Magic Transit have historically made it inaccessible to smaller hosting providers. GigaNodes is the first Indian hosting company to offer this to customers at accessible price points.
Available on Every Plan
Cloudflare Magic Transit is included at no extra cost on every GigaNodes plan:
