Someone should make a list of all the providers that support some kind of billing budget. It took me way more time than expected to find a CDN that has a budget limit for my personal project (I'm using Bunny CDN)

I've been looking at BunnyCDN and it looks pretty impressive. Is it as good as their landing pages look? Is it like a CDN+DNS so I can point my nameservers there and then configure the CNAMEs inside? (I'm fairly unfamiliar with DNS in general).

I've been pretty happy with Cloudflare, but at some point I added my credit card (silly me) and now I live scared of a DDOS costing me a lot of money.

I thought Cloudflare does not charge per Gb bandwidth but a fixed fee/month?
I've been super happy with BunnyCDN for my personal SaaS. Their UI is super nice, and it has been super easy to setup. Costs are really easy to predict, which is awesome for me.
DNS is in the works, but at the moment no, you need an external DNS with apex CNAME support (e.g. cloudflare)
Cloudflare has free bandwidth, including DDOS attacks.
From what I can tell, the affected project did have a GCP budget.

If you're talking about something pausing service, maybe call it a billing cap for clarity.

I can also recommend Bunny. Their support is also top notch.
