How does a DDoS attack targeting a specific path on my VPS manifest?

A DDoS attack targeting a specific path on your VPS can manifest as extremely slow response times or complete unavailability of a particular service (e.g., your website becomes unreachable while other services on the same VPS might still function). You might also observe unusually high CPU or memory usage related to the targeted service, and error logs might show a flood of malformed requests or connection attempts.
