# Cloudflare Alternatives
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Self-hosting
|
|
Self-hosting often works great, but it requires some effort to setup.
|
|
It is more aimed at technical people.
|
|
|
|
We might create a guide for some self-hosting basics which don't require Cloudflare.
|
|
[IPFS](https://ipfs.io/) may be worth consideration if performance is the main concern.
|
|
|
|
`Apache` is vulnerable to various low-bandwidth attacks. Use other server software such as [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/), [lighttpd](https://www.lighttpd.net/) or [nginx](https://nginx.org/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Best way to protect your server from DDoS
|
|
- Avoid any third-party service that _can intercept_ HTTP traffic (like Cloudflare)
|
|
- Install WAF on your loadbalancer.
|
|
- Even simple [ModSecurity](https://www.modsecurity.org/) can save you.
|
|
- Add rate-limit to your nftable(firewall) and server software.
|
|
- Just drop the excessive connection.

`CDNJS` is sponsored by Cloudflare. It might use it in the background.
