I feel like it's worth mentioning icanhazip.com [0] as well, since it's now run by Cloudflare [1]. Until recently switching to a custom CF worker, that's been by go-to for ages.

- noname120 2y agoDoes Cloudflare have a history of sunsetting products they've bought? Acquisitions by Google, Apple, Meta, etc. are yellow flags that the product may cease to exist soon. I wonder if Cloudflare has a better track record in that regard.
- godzillabrennus 2y agoNo one sunsets products like Google. I’m in the middle of transferring all my domains from Squarespace thanks to Googles sale of that business to that incredibly lousy vendor.
- CSSer 2y agoUgh, same. You’re right. Nothing is safe at Google or even a safe bet with Google. Look at third-party cookies. I can’t believe there isn’t outrage in the streets over the fact that they beat that drum for four straight years and now they suddenly have a change of heart. At some point their rationale has to become irrelevant. It’s simply unprofessional behavior.

- CSSer 2y agoThis narrative might be shifting in realtime with the LLM race and privacy wars. How do I advertise in Gemini? Do Google users want me to? I’ve worked in and around digital advertising and marketing for the better part of a decade. We look at Google with all the admiration one would have for a pet crocodile.
- blooalien 2y agoMay I inquire who you're moving to, and where I might browse to in order to follow you away from Squarespace / Google Domains? :)
- pxx 2y agothe correct answer I think is cloudflare? I'm a little wary of internet homogenization like this but I haven't the time to worry about this sort of thing for my spare one-off domains
- graton 2y agoI have moved all of mine to Cloudflare.
- godzillabrennus 2y agoNameCheap for the ones they support. I don’t like how tightly wound Cloudflare domains are with the account. I’m nervous about putting too many eggs in one basket with them. I sometimes need to switch hosting a domain in a cloudflare account with another cloudflare account. They don’t let you do that without moving a domain to a third party registrar first. I just shortened that process.
- _0xdd 2y agoThis is how I ended up on Cloudflare. Burn by Google yet again.
- immibis 2y agoNow we wait until you get burned by Cloudflare. Have we already forgotten the "We've discovered a technical problem with your domain: pay us $150,000 or fuck off"
- tomschlick 2y agoNot that I'm aware of and this is likely now just a cloudflare worker that returns the IP they already have. I would imagine maintenance is basically zero as its feature complete.
- szundi 2y agoTrue but there is no such thing as zero maintenance
