I really dont like this centralization of the internet into a few gigantic companies having every site under their wings. And then something goes wrong and millions of web sites are affected.

It also gives these companies the power to shut down any of their user sites.

On the other hand, handling a ddos attack is hardly possible without them these days.

    So what if your tiny site is offline for a bit. It’s not like you’re selling anything and the people will find an archive link

      Yup, and modern webservers are - very - good at handling a ton of requests, if your backend is solid, it takes quite a lot of traffic before it’ll buckle.
