Lemmy.ca and piefed.ca are no longer cloudflare proxied - Lemmy.ca

I’ve just completed moving lemmy.ca [http://lemmy.ca] and piefed.ca [http://piefed.ca] away from using Cloudflare’s proxy service, this means traffic now comes directly from our server instead of being routed through any US based companies. Let me know please if you run into any problems or errors! Note that in order to avoid making too many major changes at once, our DNS is still hosted by cloudflare. I’ll be moving that away from them later this week

what provider do you use to host the actual instance on?

been looking for a good one for some publicly facing services, went with xenyth, seems alright but they charge in USD despite being canadian

We own our own hardware in a datacenter, so I can’t help =)
I use Servarica out of Montreal but I checked my invoices and it says USD as well
Sasktel apparently does some form of cloud infrastructure now, haven’t actually looked into it but they are looking to expand their customer base to across Canada
If you want to manage a VPS, I have been happy with OVH. Very cheap, hosted in Montreal. Not Canadian, but European owned.
