I started using the free plan with Cloudflare about 9 years ago. Over the years I have hosted multiple websites and upgraded to the paid plan on quite a few of those websites because of their robust network that blocks/eliminates all spam. Never has it been easier to just plug in and let a great service do the work for you.Cloudflare also provides a great many sets of rules that we can use to customize and shape our traffic for increased protection from malicious traffic that always eats up precious bandwidth. With Cloudflare spreading out defense all over the world, we do not have to worry about our servers going doing in case of an attack. In testing, it increases our traffic capability by 102x while only spending 1.2x the cost, which for us is a game-changer; not having to worry about increasing costs while maintaining optimum performance.

We use it as our main public DNS host. We have several public facing services, hundreds of domains, and they all are hosted here.

Likelihood to Recommend

It does a great job in the few aspects we are using it for currently. We feel safer having it handle our DNS records, and moving everything over was easy. Getting reports on traffic and malicious attempts at attacking our web presence is also really cool to see. I can't think of any reason to not use them considering how each product is separated out to suit your business needs, and the free tier is great if you only need some basics.

Cloudflare is the most affordable domain name registration platform available. Recently i renewed a group of domains for around 30% less than they would have been at my previous registrar.

The DNS management is great as well. The caching helps on sites where you know the client will upload large images or not manage the site in a way that is performant.
