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 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, lighttpd or nginx.
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 can save you.
- Add rate-limit to your nftable(firewall) and server software.
- Just drop the excessive connection.
