Someone was (incidentally?) ddos'ed on Netlify last year and was served a 104k bill. The fees were waved in the end, but the caveat remains on all these free services that you pay by bandwidth.

    That's why I like Bunny, the only such service I could find with prepaid pricing. I would rather have service shut off than to have to pay $104k for a day or two of service.

      It's not the same type of platform as Bunny, but NearlyFreeSpeech.NET has done cheap, prepaid hosting for 20+ years.

        Wow, thanks for sharing. Their policies look great. I am going to try them out.

        I've used them for small stuff for years. I've never had any issues with them.
