@aral Eclips.s is fantastic. It made it possible for me to avoid CloudFlare at $OLDJOB, which sometimes meant #Greenhost was handling a *lot* of traffic coming to our sites. 💜

Oh btw, about a month ago we handled ~200k visits in a day, ~12 pageviews per second, ~1Gbps bandwidth, on a WordPress site on our infrastructure... without breaking a sweat.

How? Years of polishing our front-end caching reverse-proxy config. Is it #FLOSS? Of course it is: https://git.occrp.org/libre/fasada

Also, thanks and kudos to #Greenhost for hosting our edge nodes.

Point is: no, you don't need #CloudFlare.

An `nginx`-based front-end caching config for WordPress sites, handling high traffic and improving security.

So I'm thinking about creating a #FOSS series and am researching topics. Since we decided to go with on-prem servers, it's been a while since I looked into ethical hosting/VPS alternatives. Basically, if you're not using AWS/Azure/GCP servers, who are the ethical server providers you should turn to?

So far I have #Greenhost. Anyone else?

anyone experience with php and mysql on the #greenhost servers? I have some trouble passing the credentials...
