Kudos to the BunnyNet team! I've always looked for a EU based alternative to Cloudflare; not because I didn't like them, I still support Cloudflare and they're a great company, but pushing for and testing EU services is important particularly in the light of recent developments in EU-US geopolitics. The problem is that many European companies aren't as competitive as their US counterpart. Consider Hetzner as an examp…

Are you a Hetzner customer? I'm a Hetzner customer, and my prices did not increase by 3x (it was more like 1.25x) and the price increase was communicated months in advance and several times. I am running stuff on their older infra, so maybe they handled it differently? When hardwares price go up at least 4x for storage and ram, I don't see how you can avoid price increases and they are still one of the cheaper/cheape…
>When hardwares price go up at least 4x for storage and ram, I don't see how you can avoid price increases You said you are on older infra? So why did they increase your costs 1.25x? That old hardware has long depreciated and paid itself back many times over and you run a higher risk of an outage due to components wearing out over time. You should be asking for a discount!

They are competitive price wise, but less competent human wise. Their lack of user care shows when you start talking to support. I've never had this experience with an US company (except the US giants) where support basically gives me an "it is what it is". The most recent that really put the cherry on top. I was planning on dropping them when running out of prepaid credits. ALL SaaS software I've used before that ha…
What would an american provider have done? Changed their pricing model for you?

Similar US vendors = you're lucky to even get someone to talk to or is too far from the chain to actually know so you get a "generic" answer.
648 queries/second/location.
Obviously not all locations are equal and not all seconds or minutes of the day are.
Indeed an impressive scale.

Not saying there are companies going above and beyond for customer service but getting a human answer at all when spending single-digit euros a month seems impressive enough; then again I am european so certainly biased :) What would an american provider have done?

You can be metered or fixed price. Mixing the two in the most inuintive way possible is a true innovation. /s
Other cloud based provider have the option to pay for your usage to the cent. I guess that innovation didn't reach the EU. /s
Wait, someone paid them for DNS before? It was many FREE DNS services since early 00's, I even will not say nothing about the domain names registrants who almost always (with literally few exceptions) provides free DNS.
Domain Registrars usually have shitty, subpar DNS eg. without Anycast or DNSSEC.
Otherwise, that is my observation also.
