Is it better than cloudflare?

Never use the same company for your hosting or CDN and your domain, and avoid cloudflare in general.

That's because if they don't like your website being on your CDN, and they suspend your account, you'll lose your domain. If your domain is at Porkbun you can change it to point to a different IP address.

And avoid Cloudflare because they're centralising the internet.

Porkbun's dns is powered by Cloudflare (they don't hide it on their dns management page), so afaic it's the same can of worms

Depends on what you mean by better.

I chose Porkbun because it's a small company with good prices, a good vibe, and all the tools that I need. Cloudflare was never going to be on the table because I don't want to feed the beast that is already swallowing the entire internet.
