It looks like Cloudflare Inc is the 1st (American), 4th is DigitalOcean, then there are some servers hosted on Amazon, Oracle, Google... Maybe I understand something incorrectly, but I'd like to avoid those hosting providers. Also I don't get this frontend, backend thing, but apparently there's difference when it comes to interpreting hosting providers. Anyone can help?

Now about hosters themselves, you can check the sidebars. https://lemmy.zip/ for instance redirects to this link: https://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/green-web-check/?url=lemmy.zip

Avoiding Cloudflare could be difficult, I'm not even sure which instances don't use it.

Damn. Now I need to switch instance and it seems impossible.
