It looks like Cloudflare Inc is the 1st (American), 4th is DigitalOcean, then there are some servers hosted on Amazon, Oracle, Google… Maybe I understand something incorrectly, but I’d like to avoid those hosting providers. Also I don’t get this frontend, backend thing, but apparently there’s difference when it comes to interpreting hosting providers. Anyone can help?

    Avoiding Cloudflare could be difficult, I’m not even sure which instances don’t use it.
