I notice Stake uses Cloudflare. Of the 3-4 options out there I would choose Cloudflare over like-for-like competitors simply by virtue of research of reviews and ease of use. The Free Plan is basic. The Pro Plan is $20pm. The Business Plan is $200pm but guarantees 24/7 uptime in the event of a DDoS attack and finally Enterprise Plan which is Price on Asking. Are you at liberty to say which one is used by Stake? I have not heard of Stake suffering a DDoS attack so I would presume it is the Business Plan.

Are you at liberty to say if your hosting set up is with Amazon, Digital Ocean, Ali Baba or Google Cloud or something else? Why did you choose that company over the others? If you have an issue with the present host would you find it an easy transition to move companies to set up elsewhere?

The interest or curiosity I have is not specific to Stake as I have asked similar questions elsewhere too.

That is an unnusual but interesting question. I don't know the answer but seems to be that the servers/hosting are working very well, yesterday there was a lot of people betting both in-website and using bots to achieve the "1,000,000,000 bet challenge", and the website stood up to the challenge and worked flawlessly.
