  So I’ve done public DNS zone hosting and you can use let’s encrypt for certs and such, but

  • What about caches? I basically use to reduce load and network traffic reduction before it gets to me so I don’t have to run my own varnish cache and get regional caching to reduce repeat cross country calls for people on the other coasts.
  • What do you use for DDOS protection?

  Basically, cloudflare us free, and i get all that. If I find another place better, I’m open to jumping ship.

  Not trying to get into a pissing contest, or twist your arm into anything…however, honest question: What do you consider your ISP? Centralized or no? I mean, there are only around 10 to 15 major Tier-1 backbone ISPs that I know of, everyone else contracts with them. There are about 12–14 true Tier-1 backbone providers that form the core of the global Internet, and a few dozen additional very large backbone networks (Tier 2) that also carry massive amounts of international internet traffic.
