Limit bandwidth to avoid high billing caused by DDoS?

[perry]

hi koprowski,

this post should answer your questions, i think! it’s specific to API requests/redirects, but, i think the answer still applies.

Questions about redirection

Example, I have website called https://api.example.com I redirected example.netlify.com/api with status code 200 to https://api.example.com. Now, my question is will visitors know source website address? And if someone sent ddos to address example.netlify.com/api, will my https://api.example.com affected? Or will Netlify protect it?

Prevent Netlify from mistaking my multi-IP load testing for a ddos

Hi, I’m about to run multi-IP load testings against my own netlify-hosted static website because we might have a massive exposure shortly. Is it worth making such a test, since the website is static ? If so, how can I prevent Netlify from mistaking that testing for a ddos ? Thank you for your help.
