CloudFlare has their plusses and minuses, but they do offer domain registration at cost, for example $10.46/year for .com (every year, not one of those deals for the first year then more expensive down the line).

Cloudflare has become a middleman and gatekeeper of the web, a single point of surveillance, and an enemy of the open internet. Giving them more business would make these problems worse. No thanks.

The problem is that they then force you to use them as a DNS host as well.

I am totally fine with cloudflare DNS. There is nothing better with free tier out there. Can't beat $10.

Honestly I don't really see this as a bad thing for the average person. I don't register my domains with CloudFlare, but I do all my DNS through them and it's great.

Everything propagates in 10 seconds rather than 10 hours.

You actually can use your own nameservers... if you pay for the business plan which is $2400/yr.

It boggles the mind that this is allowed by ICANN.
