High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
I know it does, but OP never mentioned anything about price.
Yeah, but when I mean a shit load, I mean a metric fuck-ton. It is around 70-160$+ per a month and I highly doubt someone like this would have that amount.
Either way I would just get ddos prot, srv record, and try using IP Masking if possible.
If you are hosting your Minecraft server from your own network, I think it is nearly impossible to mask your IP address to the world since the packets that is flowing will always be routed to your IP.
Cloudflare is created to prevent DDoS attacks against websites, not servers. The way they prevent DDoS attacks is that they copy all the codes and save it in their storage servers. They use DNS and other Nameservers to make your website become a part of their network and prevents the traffic from ending up at your IP. If you try to ping a Cloudflare Protected website and try to enter the IP in the search bar, it won't work because they blocked direct access to IP.

That's not how they prevent DDoS protection. That's how they cache basic HTML/CSS websites, the second you add a server language (such as PHP) its still on that machine. They just "proxy" your connection and verify it. That's why if you visit MCM (after awhile and whatnot) sometimes you will see "Verifying your browser..." And has a 5 second wait. That's CloudFlare. You use CloudFlare DNS servers and you connect to mc-market.org you are really
CLIENT ---> CloudFlare (verify browser) ---> server
If you aren't, everything is like this
Client ---> Server (which means the IP is exposed)
They might cache/optimize your CSS/HTML but definitely not your PHP. Which a xenforo forums requires it greatly.
If you have a theme, that themes CSS will almost always be the same.. so they cache it which means that request doesn't reach your server.
They DO NOT store your php code. That's impossible to get a servers PHP code from a webserver. If it was, that'd be a huge security risk.
