That's insanity. I would rather bet on Cloudflare to be around longer. They don't add any additional up-charge from the baseline ICANN price. Before, I was buying 10 years of registration for a bit of a discount, but, after 20 years, I've switched over to single year with CF. What value does Wordpress bring for $380/yr? That's crazy.

You don't think Cloudflare will have a vc catchup moment where they jack up prices when they have a certain reach? Or they won't get purchased by a bigger entity or the US military?

Cloudflare will not be the same in 10 years. I doubt it will exist as the cloudflare we know today.

Well, I can't predict the future, but I think CF is one of the good ones. I bet on them more than most. They have been pretty consistent with being benevolent for the internet. But you seem to feel differently. Have they rubbed you the wrong way somehow? Why would they allow the US military to buy them out?

Cloudflare is a publicly traded company with a current market cap of $18.2B.
