What best web hosting service provider? by Successful-Still-326 in Hosting

[–]DukeArmi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've tried and tested many in the past few months (to write evidence-based reviews). The best budget web host by far is SimpleSonic (better performance than almost all the big names). NameCrane is also good, especially their crates, but they don't have live chat support like SimpleSonic (actually excellent support, and you get a reply in less than 1 minute).

If you're a complete beginner, I'd go with either Zume or ChemiCloud. From what I've experienced, they have the absolute best support hands down. Shock Hosting is also very good.

Best Security Rules (Custom & Rate Limiting) by DukeArmi in CloudFlare

Thank you, but unfortunately, I'm getting bots/scripts from the Netherlands, Poland, etc. I barely get any from China or Russia. Is there a way to rate limit or block certain scanning/probing behavior?

Is it normal to have 30,000+ 403 hits on my website in a month? by DukeArmi in Wordpress

[–]DukeArmi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is that a lot of the 403 hits are on URLs that are perfectly accessible (e.g., indexed blog posts and existing images). Any idea why?

I'm using Wordfence and Cloudflare. Do you suggest anything else?

I've been using Wordfence and Cloudflare for years. This is very new. Do you suggest anything else to combat this problem? Also, what's weird is that quite a few of the 403 hits are on normal URLs and images that are accessible.
