People using Cloudflare, are you still happy with it? Would you consider any self-hosted alternative? (discuss.online)

Genuine question, so please don't be mean to whoever responds. Better to learn than to judge.

Curious if people who are on Cloudflare are considering any selfhosted alternatives? If not, interested to hear what is a deal breaker in regards to using a service besides Cloudflare. I do hear a lot of praise for Cloudflare when facing DDOS, and always happy to learn more!

Yes. I bought the domain through them, to keep it all nice and simple.

you bought one? Like in - one time payment with infinite time ownership?

[–] CameronDev@programming.dev 25 points 7 months ago (1 children)

There are no domains that are infinite time ownership (AFAIK, please correct me if I'm wrong), but its pretty close to ownership. I have the rights to the domain for 10 years, and I get first dibs on renewal after that. So its sorta renting/sorta owning?

It's like paying off and owning a house. Sure, you own it, but quit paying state taxes (assuming US, or Council Tax and Business Rates for UK etc) for a very long time and find out what happens. LOL
