    Fastly is also a CDN. The fact that a website is behind Fastly doesn’t imply that it isn’t selfhosted at all.

      So you mean Fastly is providing CDN servers which cache the content of dev.to and then serve them to the visitor on their servers?

      Well yeah that’s not self hosting.

        Of course it would be self hosting. If the website isn’t hosted on fastly, and is hosted by an individual, that would be the definition of self hosting. You’re also assuming that Fastly is caching responses, do you know that for certain?

        Literally all you’ve done so far is resolve the host name to a DNS record. You think you’ve done something, but you haven’t.

          lol what the fuck is your problem? How about you do something and explain to me how you self host a CDN hosted by fastly???

          When did I resolve the Hostname to a DNS record? Are you fucking stupid you obviously don’t know what you are talking about. I resolved it’s domain to an IPv4 address which points entirely to a fastly server. It’s not a resource that get’s delivered by CDN, it’s the whole fucking website they are serving, which is a service they sell and that’s not self hosting.

          God damn why am I even spending my time arguing with someone that didn’t understand the basics yet. If you think a domain is a hostname and an IPv4 address is a DNS record, just back off and return to the books. You probably feel so cool and think you have done something, which you did, you ridiculed yourself.
