We used to expose the dedicated servers directly (i.e. no CDN at all), and while that was fine latency-wise, the lack of DDoS protection was really the limiting factor. E.g. Hetzner will just blackhole your subnet if you get DDoSed.
It feels rather unviable nowadays to run a business without some CDN/DDoS protection service in front of your website.
How has your experience with Bunny been? I'm quite split on it.
I used to work for a business in a pretty competitive area, where tactics like fake DMCA requests and abuse cases are routinely used to attempt to take down information, be it from Google, or from the CDN/hosting provider. While at first Bunny support seemed understanding of it, later they unceremoniously blocked the account on the basis of too many complaints having been filed, despite all of them being responded to in due time and being proven false.
OTOH, their support staff would respond lightning-fast, which was a breath of fresh air compared to other CDNs we used before.
I could see myself using Bunny for personal projects, or some non-vital business, but probably not for anything with lots of competition.
