With OSM you have to host the map tiles yourself if you add maps to your website, because OSM servers only provide limited traffic hosting via the API.

- imhoguy 8y agoAnyone providing service on top of OpenStreetMap can or ideally should host/render stuff on own mirror server. However for small uses I recommend utilising simple reverse proxy caching e.g. with nginx. Here is snippet of nginx config from my geo side-project: https://pastebin.com/brTQ68nw https://pastebin.com/brTQ68nw
- ascorbic 8y agoI use Carto's free tiles, which are great. I only found them when I did a project where the client had a Carto licence. I've used the free tiles (with Leaflet) for every map project I've done since.
- rmc 8y agoThere are OSM tileservers.. that's what you see when you go to https://www.openstreetmap.org https://www.openstreetmap.org. You are encouraged to host your own tiles if needed.
