You can host it anywhere. Just because You host it on-premise or in AWS, Azure or wherever doesn't make it not hosted.

that's self hosted. A "hosted service" is a SaaS.

What services have you been looking at?
Only one I’ve touched has been Cisco Umbrella.

I've never seen any limit on it. Just checked their terms and can't find the number or word 50 in the terms.

In absolutely zero places is it ever not saying 50.

That's Gateway. I'm using their DNS. I don't know what Gateway is, I've never looked at that before.

No one, other than you, is talking about simple DNS. The entire point of the thread, as mentioned in the title, is DNS Filtering Service.

Yes, that service INCLUDES DNS filtering, but they have other filtered DNS offerings that are not Gateway.
Just because you are lumping them together into a bigger product, doesn't mean we are discussing that.

DNS Filtering Service.
Exactly, only DNS Filtering, which is all we are using. Gateway is part of a bigger product suite of which DNS Filtering is just one small part.

Gateway is a "VPN Replacement". It moves where your traffic goes. It's a huge service doing dramatic stuff. If someone wanted a VPN / Proxy system + DNS Filtering, you'd have to request that. That's 90% stuff that isn't related to DNS. Definitely not at all what the OP was asking about. The stuff that they compared to, like PiHole, is nothing like that whatsoever.

Can you give a link to the Cloudflare service you are talking about? Maybe that will clear things up here.

Did not know CloudFlare offers a DNS Filtering-only product. Do you have a link? It looks to me like you only get that as part of the CloudFlare Gateway.
Or are you referring to their DNS Server offering such as 1.1.1.1 which automatically blocks malicious sites?
