Infrastructure

This site is self-hosted on my own internet Sosh (Orange) connection in Normandy, 800MB/s upload
I've connected the server directly to the modem/router, bypassing the need for a switch or second router.
This setup gives me a performance boost, as there's one less hop in the connection.
