It is shocking how few people understand how business works. If you think Cloudflare wants to be in the registrar business, not push their Anti DDoS stuff on a captive audience, I have a bridge to sell you.
- acdha 3y ago> push their Anti DDoS stuff on a captive audience This is a very provocative way to spin “selling the CDN services customers are buying”. What reason do we have to think anyone is an unwilling party to that transaction?
- profmonocle 3y ago> registrar business They're the registry, not the registrar. CISA is the registrar for .gov domains, Cloudflare just handles the backend. (DNS and whois infrastructure) Government employees likely never see anything about Cloudflare at all when they manage the DNS settings for domains, just like I never see anything about Charleston Road Registry (Google subsidiary) when I manage a .dev domain on Name.com. > push their Anti DDoS stuff on a captive audience How is this a captive audience? Are you implying Cloudflare won't allow .gov domains to use non-cloudflare nameservers?
