Host CDN vs bring-your-own: who controls the edge
Heard this week: the 'just use the built-in CDN' advice is getting pushback from anyone who's been burned by a host's bundled edge.
— Built-in (host-managed) CDN is one toggle and zero thinking, great until you need a custom rule
— Bring-your-own Cloudflare/Bunny gives you cache rules, WAF tuning, and a config you keep when you migrate
A source tells us the migration pain is the hidden cost: bake your edge into the host's CDN and you rebuild it from scratch when you leave. Word is the savvier shops keep the edge in their own Cloudflare account on purpose, treating the host as replaceable.
Watch this: portability is becoming the quiet selling point against the all-in-one hosts.
