Ask HN: Why pay for Cloud Hosting if I can just use Cloudflare Tunnels for free? (ycombinator.com)
I'm paying thousands of dollars a year for AWS when it seems to me I could just buy a computer and a couple solid state drives, and host locally.

Switching to BunnyCDN in Less Than 2 Hours (jonathan-frere.com)
Given some recent, uh, instability in US politics, and given that everyone likes an underdog, I’ve been looking at European alternatives to my current hosting situation, which is Cloudflare.

Seeking Support After Equinix Metal Sunsets (alpinelinux.org)
We are deeply grateful to Equinix Metal (formerly Packet.net) for their longstanding support, which has been essential to Alpine Linux’s ecosystem. However, with Equinix sunsetting their bare-metal hosting service, this critical support will soon end. Their contributions have been invaluable, and we thank them for helping keep Alpine Linux reliable and efficient.

Why is Cloudflare Pages' bandwidth unlimited? (mattsayar.com)
This site is hosted with Cloudflare Pages and I'm really happy with it. When I explored how to create a site like mine in 2025, I wondered why there's an abundance of good, free hosting these days. Years ago, you'd have to pay for hosting, but now there's tons of sites with generous free tiers like GitHub Pages, GitLab Pages, Netlify, etc.
