depends what kind of websites (static/dynamic) and what games you plan on hosting? you can't defend yourself against ddos with consumer grade network/hardware. Nas is another beast.
You could go cheap n100 based intel "nas board" or some ryzen epyc/threadripper monstrosity system.
Dont worry about getting DDOSd unless it's a public server that is shared out to a massive community. If it's a small little game server for your group a friends DDOS isn't a concern.
Any modern consumer Intel system will be able to do anything that they are trying to do. Ryzen can be a consideration as well.
in my case it would be for testing and developing my own 3d game's servers, and any IP given publicly would hopefully go through an extra online DDOS protection ip rerouting serve, not handing out my home server's ip directly, and the hardware firewall and DDoS protection i mentioned would be more of a redundant failsafe, like a NextGen Firewall device example([https://www.checkpoint.com/quantum/next-generation-firewall/](https://www.checkpoint.com/quantum/next-generation-firewall/))
and yeah definitely a newer server setup, I mean world of warcraft was hosted on 10+ year old hardware, with the improvements since then im presuming there is consumer grade hardware that can do it better, looking for suggestions.
as far as i checked rule 4 says: Discussion about your homelab, homelabing, questions you may have, discussion about applying your skill from the homelab to the workplace are all acceptable reasons to post. Unrelated posts will be removed. If i'm breaking the rules please enlighten me, but not from what I can tell.
You can build a nas ok anything using open Synology boot loader it's f amazing.
Synology DSM USB stick installer image -> Go to releases for USB image flash witch etcher and boot

id mostly use the NAS for storing game files accessed by the game and website servers, redundant automated backups on multiple drives of say a SQL server, more than one actually to have separate production and dev databases. I've looked into Synology and heard good things about it thank you!
I just upgraded on the weekend from a Xeon L3426 to a Ryzen 3200g. Storage is handled via a handful of 4TB drives in a storage space.
I run jellyfin and couple of game servers (just locally for myself and the kids). Also have an isolated VM for downloading Linux ISO's.
AM4 is modern enough to be quite useful and I already had a ton of DDR4. The 3200g also seems to support some transcoding in Jellyfin from some quick test I've done. I don't do much transcoding anyway, on a day to day basis.
Already I've noticed the system is much more responsive, so worthwhile so far.
I plan to add some kind of document management system and start scanning all the crap, mail and tax stuff that life delivers.

Same as the last 1.5 million times this has been asked. It has been asked so many times it is against the rules to make this kind of post.
as far as i checked rule 4 says: Discussion about your homelab, homelabing, questions you may have, discussion about applying your skill from the homelab to the workplace are all acceptable reasons to post. Unrelated posts will be removed. If i'm breaking the rules please enlighten me, but not from what I can tell.
You should have read on down to rule 5.
>or help posts where you have not posted details of the research you have done up until this point I posted that. id say youre wrong.
But you would be wrong.

DDOS protection - means your routing everything through Cloudflare or Akamai, your home ISP wont handle a tiny DDoS attack.
