It means that they will charge you 20k (a year's rent for me, no biggie) instead of 100k for your free website, or 5k if you got lucky.

  If you value uptime, even through being massively attacked, they can offer you that.

    That is not unique to this price point and most of their competitors do not charge for unusual traffic spikes.

    It's a static website. Plenty can offer uptime through being massively attacked, for free.

      OT: It seems like your comments are being automatically flagged/killed by HN, you might want to reach out to HN staff. You're the second person in this situation I've come across in the past hour, odd.

    I had the intuition that Netlify are extremely incompetent compared to Cloudflare, and this thread adds another data point. So no, if you value uptime you are not going to rely on them.
