Re: Dropping Cloudflare for Bunny.net
#22I’ve mainly been using cloudflare for the very excellent (and free) premium DNS offering. Easy upload of bind test files Flattened CNAME to support naked domains Robust free role based permissions to add other ppl Anyone have suggestions for moving a stack of domains, many being little community and hobby projects away from cloudflare for a small overall price. Agency pricing like migadu offers for email on custom do…
You can use Bunny for DNS-only, it works well
Re: Dropping Cloudflare for Bunny.net
#23Unfortunately it doesn't offer free hosting for hobbyists. Even for superficial traffic you'll have pay 1 euro a month (plus VAT). Not many DNS management providers (that I'm aware of, please correct me) support CNAME flattening. That is having your A record point to a CNAME. Every time I purge the pull zone cache, I do it twice, cause once from my CI isn't enough. My CI does individual page cache invalidation during…
oh no a euro a month for a service. How will we financially recover?
not everyone lives in the USA or earns USA based salaries.
also I said this in a another thread, they charges 1$ even for single testing http request.

#24your enthusiasm for the service might be justified but having every mention of its name be a hyperlink with referral code feels offputting like i'm about to enter a multi-level marketing scheme

Other commenters laughing at you for the price... It's not about the price it's about the barrier. Even if I love a service, I won't get very many people to try it if they need to enter a credit card.
I get that credit cards are a barrier of entry but I’m more willing to give providers a break now that AI agents make it much easier to abuse free tiers. It’s also harder for smaller companies to offer free tiers. If we want a more diverse set of service providers we as customers need to be willing to accept some trade-offs.

Man, come on now, it's 1.20 EUR a month.
Of course it's nothing, but it's also not a set it an forget kind of thing, which in many ways for hobbyists is why cloudflare/github pages are nice.

#27This has to be an ad right? Affiliate link in the blog, non sensical reasoning for switching (single point of failure to... another single point of failure) etc
Re: Dropping Cloudflare for Bunny.net
#28Nice ad. >One of my biggest concerns though is around how easily I could become heavily dependent on this one single company that then can decide to cut me off [...] How does switching to Bunny make a difference? It would be super nice to have a setup that uses multiple CDNs w/ automatic failover.
It would be super nice to have a setup that uses multiple CDNs w/ automatic failover. Doable, but that removes all the free tiers of all the CDN's. AFAIK they all require an enterprise account to keep using ones own DNS and their own GSLB DNS failover. There are probably a few exceptions and one could maybe make something of that but I don't know which ones are the exceptions.
What other CDNs even have decent free tiers besides Cloudflare?

Yeah. I flagged this thread for spam.

Yeah IANAL, but this sort of endorsement with undisclosed remuneration would probably run afoul of FTC guidelines, which is why you see disclaimers like "As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases" everywhere. The author seems to live in the UK, but a cursory search suggests there's something similar there as well.
