Cloudflare R2 is so cheap for serving static content it's hard to believe.
But then, how are you paying other then with the money?
Well, Cloudflare tries really hard (like arbitrary restrictions hard) to make you use their DNS servers for your whole domain.
Using subdomains requires an enterprise plan.
But like, what does hosting your authoritative DNS give them?
@pony yes, but:
- they're known for forcing heavy users into the enterprise plan by threatening to cancel their service, despite there not being any explicit limits
- why would they go out of their way to implement features that force you to host your primary domain with their DNS servers?
@pony although the former applied to DDoS protection, not R2 outgoing traffic, so I guess it doesn't prove anything about R2 in particular being unprofitable
@neo well, the opoortunity to pull off a MITM, with a certificate and all that.
Ofc this is just a hypothesis.
Maybe they disallow subdomsins only because it's a pain in the ass for the large customers, and they don't care about actually hosting the DNS.
