Cloudflare also works in Europe and has POPs there so I don't see why you couldn't use that. But there are also Hetzner VMs if you can configure sometime a bit less turnkey and don't necessarily need a CDN but just hosting mainly.
- vldszn 8mo agoYeah, agree. Thanks for your answer
- crote 8mo agoThe problem is that it is still an American company, which is subject to American laws, which these days are fairly arbitrary and subject to change as often as the direction of the wind. To a European it is not much different these days from hosting it on Alibaba Cloud or Yandex: you don't want to rely on hostile powers for critical infrastructure.
- rschachte 8mo agoCare to share an example of cloudflare impacting you from this to date? CEO is a lawyer and feel like they adhere to their principles pretty firmly. Just check the latest in Italy
- vldszn 8mo agoI think these days people are generally more suspicious and nervous, and are looking around for potential alternatives. But price, quality, and UX/DX will win eventually, imo.
- glaucon 8mo agoThe problem isn't "to date" the problem is what might be. Sure, maybe the CloudFlare CEO seems like they "do the right thing" and then the administration gets pissed off at something CF related, they lean on the CF board and you've got a new CEO and maybe CF is sold off to "a friend of the show". Nothing specific to CF here it's just how all US companies need to be viewed.
- mcsniff 8mo agoAnd what exactly stops this from happening to any company or organization, regardless of being US-based? If 90% of customers are in the US, they're probably going to comply.
