Host your own OpenStreetMap Map Tiles
You can host .mbtiles files with PHP very easily. I wrote a tiny piece of code 9 years ago that I used for a high traffic map server and it worked just fine. https://github.com/infostreams/mbtiles-php
I'm sure there are newer solutions out there, which might have more features and are actually maintained. But this did (and still does) the job.
What are some alternatives?
