Maybe I'm too old, and stuck in the mud with the pre-ICANN intention of the original TLDs, but does it seem odd to anyone else that they host their network services on .com and their corporate information on .net?
- judge2020 6y agoI think the joke here is that their stock symbol is NET.
- azinman2 6y agoSurprised they could get that after all the net related terminology in the early 2000s.
- lazerpants 6y agoYour comment sent me down a research hole. Turns out, stock ticker symbols can be reused but I can find no evidence that NET was used before, which seems impossible.

Putting it on a non-cloudflare.com domain puts it outside the security context of the main site and they don't have to worry if it gets hacked. Google does something similar by hosting third-party stuff on withgoogle.com and a handful of other domains.
