The average small-time hoster will get pummeled without an modern active defense and a solid 50mbps minimum copper or fiber uplink. You can get lucky for a while as long as you aren&#39;t hosting anything of crawling value. &#xA;&#xA;I&#39;ve been hosting mostly the same stuff for almost 14 years now, and it wasn&#39;t until about late 2024 that bot traffic has steadily increased to the point where there the bot traffic averages to 10mbps stream. I haven&#39;t wanted to know what that would look like if over 70% of my bot traffic wasn&#39;t already being heavily attenuated. &#xA;&#xA;It&#39;s just a centralizing force and it&#39;s a bummer as it&#39;s getting more difficult for me to suggest people self host, because most of the traffic will be abuse. </html></oembed>
