So cloudflare can protect against 70 tbps ddoses without billing the customer, and millions of sites use their free plan with not much incentive to move onto the $20 per month package.

- jgrahamc 6y agoSince we're a public company you can read our financial results any time you want: https://cloudflare.net/ https://cloudflare.net/ I'd also encourage you to read our S-1 filing when we went public that explains how our business works: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1477333/000119312519222176/d735023ds1.htm https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1477333/000119312519... But the simple answer is... lots of people and companies per us for our service, we've optimized the cost of running our service over years and years.
