    They do.

    The basis for the FUD is that Cloudflare controls a lot of the web since they’re used as a CDN, DDOS mitigation, domain registration, etc. However, what the FUD fails to mention is they don’t provide most of the infrastructure for the web, Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure totally dwarf their footprint. DDOS protection and whatnot may be provided largely by Cloudflare, but not the rest of the web stack.

    Cloudflare very much doesn’t want one or two companies to dominate the web because that’ll kill their business model. The more diversity there is on the web, the more attractive their services are, because people are willing to pay for things to just work.
