|
***Why you should say "No" to Cloudflare***
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
|

|
## Alternatives
|
|
| Alternative | Drawback | Price | Link |
|

|
|

## Not researched yet
|
|
### CDNJS
|
|
CDNJS is sponsored by Cloudflare. It might use it in the background.
|
|
|
|
## Why X is not included
|
|
| X | Reason |
|
|
| ------- | ------ |
|
|
| Gitlab pages | GitLab is now Cloudflared |
|
|
| Imperva | Uses Cloudflare. |
|
|
| jsDelivr | Uses Cloudflare, see their [network page](https://www.jsdelivr.com/network) |
|
|
| Netlify | Uses Amazon AWS which is also a content delivery network. It would be hypocritical to include it. |
|
|
| Siteground | Tor-hostile people. |
|
|
|
|
## History
|
|
Sucuri and eQualitie have a history of CloudFlare patronage, but no longer.
