    How CloudFlare Kept My Blog Running

    I have been using CloudFlare for about 5 months. I mainly chose to look into using CloudFlare because of the performance benefits for my blog.

    Last week my host had an issue. There was a denial-of-service (DoS) attack against the server that hosts my blog. Because I am on a shared hosting plan, the DoS probably caused issues with several sites, and not just my blog

    Regardless of the sky-high appeal of cloud storage benefits, it is not wise to turn to cloud driven business continuity haphazardly. While the perceived ease and cost performance of cloud storage and recovery is tempting, cloud storage and backup present considerable challenges.
