***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.
## Alternatives
| Alternative | Drawback | Price | Link |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------- | ------ | ---- |

| PerimeterX | not gratis | ? | - |
| Github pages | uses Microsoft servers | Free | https://pages.github.com/ (WARNING: Tor/VPN users will get their [account blocked automatically ](https://github.com/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor ) by Github) |
| Surge.sh | uses custom servers | Free | https://surge.sh/ |
## Not researched yet
### CDNJS
CDNJS is sponsored by Cloudflare. It might use it in the background.
## Why X is not included
| X | Reason |
| ------- | ------ |
| Netlify | Uses Amazon AWS which is also a content delivery network. It would be hypocritical to include it. |
| Siteground | Tor-hostile people. |
|jsDelivr | Uses Cloudflare, see their [network page ](https://www.jsdelivr.com/network ) |

| Gitlab pages | GitLab is now Cloudflared |
2020-06-27 15:24:48 +02:00
| Impurva Incapsula | I think they're Tor-hostile; may need some investigation |
