  • I'm switching from CloudFlare to HE yesterday, because they always turn my site off everyday. I'm using the Free service. Would it be 100% uptime if I use the paid one?

  • @ErawanArifNugroho the paid one uses the same network, you just get more features turned on. It's been over 6 months since we used them, maybe they dropped the ball? I don't know, but totally forgot about HE. Also, if your domain is hosted with name.com, their DNS service is really good.

    Some of my domains with Internet.bs, I've using Internet.bs nameserver a few days ago, but having some problem with the dns. So switched to CloudFlare, and switched to HE.

    Another domains with NameCheap using CloudFlare, and they also went offline yesterday. :(

    @ErawanArifNugroho Well, I was just trying to help. In the end I couldn't find anything decent (free or low budget), so I've forked over $70 / year for DNSMadeEasy and I'm very happy with their service. I mean, if you're a hosting provider then it's a given that you either use a decent DNS service or set up your own. If you're just a consumer trying to get decent DNS service, then use your domain registrar's or sign up for HE like you've said. Sorry to hear about CloudFlare, I guess I won't be recommending them anymore.

  • @toratekdotnet Thank you for the recomendation.
    Maybe I will try CloudFlare again next month, I will try to see how HE work this month.

    Last year I also go with DNSMadeEasy, and never noticed any downtime. Maybe will try them again for another domain. :)

    Ppl get scared when Erawan comes close with his torture "tests". Or the servers simply faint or play dead. Better than be killed for real :P

    I see no point to be paying for DNS hosting when so many free providers do it so well, but that's just me.

    With CF, I have no query/month or no other limits, so I don't even see why I'd want to consider anyone else. Oh btw, no domain limits either. The inconsistency report is inaccurate for me too, see this:

    
    Ping statistics for 173.245.58.138:
        Packets: Sent = 100, Received = 100, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
    Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
        Minimum = 6ms, Maximum = 6ms, Average = 6ms
    
    

    That is pam.ns.cf.com

    We decided to not provide the free option for our services - our fees are as low as possible and all the money is invested in infrastructure and developing additional functionality. I know that offering free service is a good way to build customer database which in the future can migrate to paid service but in my opinion it's the wrong way of thinking. It can increase the abuse rate and hit other customers.

    @gbshouse said: It can increase the abuse rate and hit other customers.

    You could offer a different infrastructure. After all, a few DNS servers are not too expensive. A different service name and all.
    Not pushing the free idea, I am happy with afraid.org for many years (and they had some storms like ddoses and such), I was just offering some ideas on how to avoid disruption of your paid service by the abusive free "customers".
