Received the following email:

We have some important news to share. StackPath has decided to commit its entire focus to being the industry’s best cloud computing platform built at the Internet’s edge.

With this decision, we will discontinue our StackPath CDN and legacy Highwinds CDN products.

StackPath CDN and Highwinds CDN services will cease operations at 12:00 AM Central (midnight), November 22, 2023.

Anyone using nginx plus as a alternative to open source nginx?

When would you recommend it over the open source version? What features did you find useful?

The new iOS 15 privacy relay uses prior IP range 104.16.0.0/12 removed in Apr 8, 2021 as can be seen https://www.cloudflare.com/ips/ This a very recent change and probably many Cloudflare users have this whitelisted on firewall. This will allow iOS 15 privacy relay users to easily bypass many Cloudflare firewall and server security settings.

Namecheap.com seems popular for a lot of tech companies. However, they seem to be not only cheap in price but in management.

I run a forum site with MILLIONS of visitors and about 5,000 TB of traffic per month. Namecheap.com suddenly sent me a link warning that they will suspend my domain completely within 24 hours, if I did not delete two problem images (which were inappropriate/troublesome images but in the context of the forum posts, "a very poor attempt at humor"). I deleted the images and avoided being suspended, but the way they threatened to suspend my domain due to two images was ridiculous. If I missed the warning email or checked my email after 24 hours they would have completely suspended my domain. I'm talking about a site with MILLIONS of visitors per month and ten thousands of posts per day, not some small blog.

They may be suitable for some blog, but I can now say to NEVER use them for any enterprise site.
