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?
