100k+ page views a month for $5 with a self-hosted static site
I keep telling people &#x27;you probably don&#x27;t need a massive server if you&#x27;re just running static pages&#x27;, again this seems confirmed (for some use cases).<p>A few questions:<p>1. Do you have any protection against DDoS? I currently implement my own custom solution, people seem to be transitioning towards Cloudflare but I see such a move as dangerous. What&#x27;s your mitigation and&#x2F;or opinion?<p>2. You mention the ease of spinning up a new server - I personally just run a bash script for this. How do you automate the transference of your URL over to a new IP?<p>3. Have you ever experienced slow down and if so, how did this affect your site?<p>4. What are the most resource intensive aspects of your website? (I.e. What is using your bandwidth&#x2F;CPU&#x2F;RAM?)
