| Cloudflare isn’t anywhere near being the second worst registrar. I’ve never had anything remotely similar to this occur, and I’ve had hundreds of domains with Cloudflare for years. |

| Cloudflare will call you up one day demanding an immediate payment of $150k and holding your domains hostage if you don't comply. [citation very much needed] |

| ▲ | Silhouette 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Whatever was really happening in that incident it seems clear that it was not a simple matter of having registered some domains with Cloudflare and then getting a shakedown for $100k+ because of that. If anyone else chooses to read the post then I suggest skimming the comments (that are mostly hidden by default) as well. | | |
| ▲ | vetrom 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | The point isnt the apologists that pop up whereever CF gets mentioned, the point is that they more or less have a built reputation for deceptive loss leader marketing. Maybe early/MVP product engineers should know better, but CFs own education materials do not teach you to expect that. | | |
| ▲ | Silhouette 11 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | I have no financial or professional connection to Cloudflare as far as I know and that's partly because I'm not sure I like the way they operate and the level of control over everyone's access to the Web they now have. But if we're going to criticise then I think it should be on a reasonable and preferably objective basis. The claim I challenged appears to be the complete opposite of that unfortunately. | |

| Yeah, thats FUD. Cloudflare hasnt called anybody demanding huge sums of cash and holding your domains hostage. As a registrar they're fine, dont play scammy scum upsell games (because they have a real business model that isnt just registration skim). |
