It looks like Bunny.net (the awesome CDN) is entering the world of DNS hosting! Would love to see support for this added to Cloudron once it's ready.
Their blog post about it is here: https://bunny.net/blog/transforming-internet-routing-introducing-bunny-dns/
A public preview is expected in April 2022 (currently private beta until then). It will also be free to use (unless using their scripting too).
Why do you like Bunny.net? Not being Cloudflare is a big plus!

Yes but CF has features that you can't ignore sometimes, like DB and storage at the edge, workers, ...
We succeed in replicating some of those features, on Bunny but took a lot of time and money from our customers; that many don't have.

@MooCloud_Matt that’s exactly how i feel about CF. Their offerings are great if you need all those features. But for a regular joe like myself, bunny fits my needs better. I’m using bunny’s CDN, hopefully DNS once it’s added to CR, and their stream service for serving product videos on my website. I opened three tickets yesterday with bunny and all tickets got answered within minutes (5 mins was the longest). Competition is always good for consumers and having a smaller company with less features is a pro, not a con. Think of the many CF related issues.
I don’t see bunny stealing any of CF’s paying customers. Most are using the free tier and CF is losing money because of it (someone linked an article about it on here iirc). Meanwhile, bunny found a way to offer ultra affordable services while still making profit with their $1 minimum monthly charge. I tried to make this point to CR staff in an email last weekend but it seems my message got ignored lol.
I don’t understand why bunny isn’t being looked at by the staff. Especially when they’ve added smaller/niche companies to the API list.

Yes, durable objects are very underrated.

@girish can we please get your thoughts on this?
Thanks! -
@girish I've been a good boy this year. Really I have.. OK, I mostly have but I do make the cut on Santa's list and earned my gifts. Can we please get this done before year's end?

@girish DNSPerf added Bunny to the list, and they're in the top 10. Any chance they will be added in the foreseeable future?

@lukas we merged it into 7.4.2 instead since it's quite a simple change. 7.4.2 will probably come next week fixing a few other regressions.
It is helpful to have a newbie friendly explanation for the benefits of some technical software like this. Here is one, courtesy of You.com YouChat AI:
"Bunny.net offers a CDN (Content Delivery Network) service, not just a DNS (Domain Name System) service,
which can be self-hosted. Here are some benefits of self-hosting Bunny.net's CDN service:Faster website loading: Self-hosting Bunny.net's CDN can improve the loading speed of your website as it serves content from servers closer to the end-user.
Better security: By self-hosting, you have more control over the security of your website's content. With Bunny.net's CDN, you can encrypt data in transit with TLS/SSL and enable two-factor authentication for access.
Improved website traffic management: Bunny.net's CDN provides load balancing and traffic routing features that can help distribute traffic to multiple servers to ensure better performance and reliability.
Cost savings: Self-hosting the CDN can be more cost-effective than relying on a third-party service, especially if you have high-traffic websites where bandwidth and storage costs can add up.
More control over content and data: Self-hosting gives you complete control over your website's content and data, allowing you to customize and optimize the delivery of your website's content to your specific needs.
It's important to note that self-hosting a CDN service requires technical expertise and involves significant maintenance, so it might not be the best solution for everyone."
How could I format that paste more beautifully? I tried the "code" and that didn't look too good.
