Netlify sends a $104,000 bill after a DDoS
A hobby-tier site absorbed a large volumetric attack and the account was invoiced roughly $104,000 in bandwidth overage. Netlify waived the bill and improved its free-tier protections, but the episode is why overage behaviour is the killer field on this page — the pricing shape that produced it, $55 per additional 100 GB, is unchanged.

Gmail and Yahoo bulk sender requirements take effect
Senders above 5,000 messages a day to Gmail or Yahoo must publish SPF, DKIM and DMARC, offer one-click unsubscribe, and hold spam complaint rates below 0.3%. This is the rule that turned DNS setup friction from an annoyance into a launch blocker, and it is why every provider on this page now pre-generates authentication records.
