I have more than a dozen sites deployed on Netlify. A few days back, a HN post woke me up to the possibility of getting billed to the tune of a $100k if any of my sites get DDoSed. While the CEO of Netlify has since apologized for the mistake on the same HN post, I feel that if something like this happens to me, I really should not have to rely on my support query going viral on HN to get my issue resolved.
Additionally, I feel Netlify has a pricing policy that is far inferior compared to Cloudflare. Pretty much anything above basic static page hosting is extra cost on Netlify. Here are some things that mattered to me
| Feature | Cloudflare | Netlify |
|---|---|---|
| Bandwidth | Unlimited | 300MB |
| Analytics | Free | $9/mo |
| Branch Subdomains | Free | $19/mo |
I still love Netlify, their product is awesome. Cloudflare has a clearly better pricing model. Thus I am moving my websites to Cloudflare, starting with my blog.
Hello Cloudflare! I hope my stay here for long.
