Other than DDoS, all other issues you mentioned apply equally to all internet facing apps like Whatsapp etc. A static file server can be hardened to the point where only DDoS remains a significant threat and that hardly applies to an average Joe. IF my little site of a few boring pages & pics gets DDoS'ed, then I can move to Wordpress, Cloudflare or whatever.
- shortcake27 3y agoThere’s also a nice middleground - you can just proxy your site through Cloudflare. This masks your IP and protects against DDoS, the only caveat being you need to move your DNS to Cloudflare.
- detourdog 3y agoMy usual model is to configure the servers to be hosted locally and rsynced anywhere else. I'm currently going through this exercise right now. I start by making everything good local and then can publish anywhere. I love having a completely independent working local copy. My environment is perfect for my needs or I change it. Basically my deployment plans and disaster recovery are indistinguishable.
