"Where Performance & Reliability meet Cost Effectiveness"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

Cloudflare CDN is amazing. Cloudflare cleverly built tools for small as well as big businesses. The CDN allows faster performance and efficiency on smaller sites as well as larger sites. It is most useful for sites using servers located at 1 location, but serving content for the entire world. Besides, Cloudflare is also useful for larger sites, as the security features and caching can save you a lot of money, and reduce a lot of hassle. Their free plan offers more features than paid plans of many of their competitors. It offers way to many features even in free plan, if you own a small server, you would be amazed by the performance and security benefits, and if you own powerful servers, the performance jump might not be very noticeable, but some of there features like GZip compression, Caching, HTTP/2 serving and many more will really improve your efficiency and security

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

I don't like cloudflare's overly crowded UI that promotes there paid plans. Often times when you open any settings, you would be greeted with half the features that are only for paid customers. The free features are plenty, and are very useful, but so many labels of paid features make it crowded and not a pleasant experience. There different price plans aren't very intuitive either.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am saving a lot of money from Cloudflare. I am able to run my servers at far cheaper price, because Cloudflare takes a lot of burden of my server, Cloudflare helps in caching, compression, security and more. meaning that often users are served directly from Cloudflare so that my server has to do less work. Cloudflare's features like Always Online, allow me to make changes to my site in production and ensuring that incase of error, customers would be served the cached version, and won't know that site is actually down.

"Probably best CDN for self-hosted sites"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

The ease of setup and the price are excellent. Cloudflare incapsulates such features as DNS, Caching, SSL verification, firewall, built-in apps, and DDOS protection. They are all easy to use, and there are no complicated forms.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

Initial engagement is pretty lengthy, and it takes a while to get everything verified. Once you onboard a domain, setting up subdomains is fast and convenient. Buying domains is not available, though. There is no specialized dynamic DNS client.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Cloudflare to host my DNS, cache my static files, protect my website from bots and visitors from other countries. Cloudflare hides my actual IP address and allows quick change of the IP behind a website. Proxying traffic through Cloudflare is one of the best features since I do not need to pay for a static IP address, and it saves a lot of money.

"Stellar DNS, Cheap Registry"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

Completely free DNS and DDoS protection draws you into a world of paid products that are gratefully fairly priced and competitive, especially the brand new Cloudflare Registry (new as in it only allowed transfers before and now allows registrations). As I'm sure many other people will say, Cloudflare is perfect and if you're in tech and you're not using it, that's on you and it's kind of embarassing. Cloudflare is a stellar product and free in most use cases.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

Nothing. I literally dislike nothing about this product, even the customer support is decent for a free product.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

Originally, it was simply centralized DNS across multiple registrars. Now it's cheaper domain names.

"Easily enable SSL, firewall, proxy, and more for your websites"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

Changes to Cloudflare DNS and settings are almost instant. The ability to enable SSL for free for my websites is much appreciated when other vendors want to charge a LOT. Cloudflare firewall rules even on free accounts are very helpful. My e-commerce sites are only for select countries, so it is nice to block other countries or continents to reduce exposure to hackers.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

They recently changed the interface and there are some quirks that make it more difficult to navigate between multiple sites. It was easier with the previous interface. I'm sure they'll work it out soon though.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

All my websites were easily SSL enabled. Using country and continent block with firewall rules. Quick DNS updates.

"Excellent Service"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

This service has an easy to use and follow user interface as well as easy to understand directions as to what to do with the program and the ability to import settings from your current service provider.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

As easy as it is to use it can sometimes require a higher knowledge level than an average user may have and can make it harder to understand what each setting does or can do.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Cloudflare to help grant an extra level of security toy DNS as it also has easy to understand setup for DNSSEC. Also their easy to use interface makes it easier to ensure that I have all my settings as they need to be in relation to adding services that require the addition or modification of DNS settings to be functional.

"Best DNS Management services"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

The most helpful and upsides of Cloudflare DNS is it is easy to handle the DNS of the domain very quickly and safely. And it will have page rules that help us to make the redirect subdomains.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

The least helpful and downside of Cloudflare DNS is it cost so much high-level money. It gives 3-page rules, and to get extra, it will cost so much money that the not profit Developers not only this there so many things that cost much.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

The benefits and advantages I got using Cloudflare DNS are free and the best SSL security, which helps my customer to believe in my website. And it will provide page rules which cost jog but so worthwhile.

"Cloud DNS is only way to go"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

Having free and paid options is the best thing about Cloudflare. Besides being the best cloud DNS service provided the features are amazing and it's very easy to use. Very minimal downtime and the amount of features in the free service makes it stand above the others.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

Nothing to dislike about the service. It has the perfect balance between free and paid subscribers.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cloudflare solves all the migration issues I've had in the past. Delegating to a new service or migrating email service providers is not flawless and has ZERO downtime. It is so good that I believe it's the only way a website should be set up.
