"Follow your dreams". Without a backup plan, this will statistically doom the vast majority of those who dream of online gaming, being an influencer, or playing professional sports.

Sure there are people who make a living in all 3 areas, but the odds are definitely not in your favor.

Agreed. I think lag / ping is just as important as throughput in determining subjective snappiness of a connection (unless you're doing large up/downloads.

Cloudflare.com doesn't charge more than what the top level registrar charges them.

NameSilo.com includes quite a few features (Privacy and email forwarding) that the sleazy registrars try to upsell.

Thank you Google. Also note that Cloudflare offers a comparable free service for all domainholders, not just certain categories of sites.

The FCC loves to attack Potemkin villages. The VOIP provider closes up shop with no assets and there is one less scumbag - a victory, but not in terms of taking money from phone abusers.

TL;DR. The latest version (105) of FireFox implemented the trick. Users don't need to do anything other than update.

Quite handy, but not part of the free tier. It's included with purchase of the Advanced Certificate Manager.

Oddly, Cloudflare is part of the Bandwidth Alliance - a consortium of 19 companies who want to reduce bandwidth costs.

Backblaze, an online storage and backup company, is also a member. They charge $.005/GB/month for S3 compatible storage. And if you map and access a bucket through Cloudflare there is no egress fee.

So it's possible to store and access your files at 1/3 the price of Cloudflare alone by using Cloudflare (plus Backblaze).
