What are some alternatives? Preferably the more open source the better.
- Strongbad536 2y agoIdk if they're open source, but netlify was the company that I thought sort of made this feature free and easy to use. Github pages is also a free alternative.
- mhitza 2y agoSomeone was (incidentally?) ddos'ed on Netlify last year and was served a 104k bill. The fees were waved in the end, but the caveat remains on all these free services that you pay by bandwidth. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39520776 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39520776
- wahnfrieden 2y agoThat's why I like Bunny, the only such service I could find with prepaid pricing. I would rather have service shut off than to have to pay $104k for a day or two of service.
- Marsymars 2y agoIt's not the same type of platform as Bunny, but NearlyFreeSpeech.NET has done cheap, prepaid hosting for 20+ years.
- nosioptar 2y agoI've used them for small stuff for years. I've never had any issues with them.
- ycombinatrix 2y agoWow, thanks for sharing. Their policies look great. I am going to try them out.
- dingnuts 2y agowhat is an "open source" network infrastructure provider?
- ramon156 2y agoCloudflare is mostly open-sourced, alternatives are more often than not closed-sourced
- dewey 2y agoI don't think putting up a few libraries on GitHub and writing great post-mortems makes something "Mostly open-sourced".
- jazzyjackson 2y agoI believe the implication is that cloudflares usefulness is not in her source code but rather her physical infra, there is not some free as in freedom alternative to that.
- overstay8930 2y agoAlternatives to what? Five Eyes? Good luck with that.
- HWR_14 2y agoChina is happy to offer an alternative. It has pretty high costs, and I don't think it's worth it, but it exists.
- pc86 2y agoThis is one of those things where the act of trying to evade state-level actors by definition puts you on their radar big time.
