I have only rented with Hertz for about 20 years, and finally gave about after almost several bad experiences. Tried Enterprise on my first trip last week and was shocked at how much better it is.

1yr plus PacNW user; this is likely adding needed backhaul for this high demand region.

Carson, I'm in the exact same boat as you and it's served us really well. I'm using CloudFlare only to cache my static assets for a Node.js app and I've seen performance in Heroku (and NodeJitsu) go up as a result. I've also added some subdomains to CloudFlare so I'm sharding my static assets (cdn1.mysitecdn.com, cdn2.mysitecdn.com). Add in that all of the assets are Gzipped and SSL secured and I'm a very happy camper. My app on 3 dynos can handle 1000+ concurrent users/sec no problem.

Also, hitting control-return in the omnibox will prepend "www" and append ".com". For example, you could type theoatmeal and hit control-return to be taken directly to www.theoatmeal.com.
