More seriously, it also helps when you're a target of a DDoS.

It's always a balancing act between outsourcing your heavy lifting, and having to trust that party and depend on them.

    I've been running my business on VPS from Linode and Hetzner for the last 13 years and have never had an issue with DoS.

    I think the benefits of Cloudflares DoS protection are vastly oversold and absolutely unnecessary for 99% of businesses.

    (I think the false positives where some users randomly get captchas are actually bad for business)

      The problem with that mindset is that by the time you do get hit, it'll be too late to act and remedy the issue easily.

      Even though I agree with you in spirit. The chances that you will need it are slim.
