Spreading the risk over multiple providers is always a good idea. Especially DNS should be separated from the hosting company.
Cloudflare also has a top of the line CDN and DDoS protection, and because of their proxy service IP addresses can be hidden in both directions, i.e you can't see the origin IP, and the origin might not see your IP (typically not the case but it's possible).
Why are the nameservers hosted through cloudflare and not epik?
Doesn't this pose a higher risk of shutdown?
As always, we're nimble and can recover quickly in case of emergency.

Cloudflare has shut down two sites for political reasons, 8kun and the neonazi site, and still runs Gab. How many has Epik shut down?
