Genuine question, so please don’t be mean to whoever responds. Better to learn than to judge.

Curious if people who are on Cloudflare are considering any selfhosted alternatives? If not, interested to hear what is a deal breaker in regards to using a service besides Cloudflare. I do hear a lot of praise for Cloudflare when facing DDOS, and always happy to learn more!

    I bought a domain from NamesCheap for less than $5 USD, and used the Cloudflare issued nameservers. Cloudflare does not require you to purchase a domain through them, but they do require you to use their nameservers for obvious reasons.
