DDG relies on Microsoft for both search results and hosting as far as I can tell. The site itself is served from Azure endpoints.

It's interesting that DDG runs on Azure and uses Bing as its backend. That makes me wonder if this whole privacy theater of DDG is the new iteration of Microsoft's "scroogled" negative campaign.

As much as I hate corporations who resort to smearing their competitors instead of elevating their own offerings it looks like it does change public opinion and essentially works in practice.
