Hi

I just got the below notice from another hosting company offering CPANEL reseller a/cs.

-----------------------------------------------------------
We are proud to announce a new partnership with Cloudflare, Inc. to offer their Cloudflare protection to our customers. Cloudflare acts a transparent filtering proxy, sitting between your site and it’s visitors. Cloudflare blocks hackers and spammers from attacking your site, and also speeds up load times by acting as a content delivery network and serving cached copies of your static files from a proxy which is closer to your customers. On average, Cloudflare customers have seen a 30% improvement in page load times. In it’s basic mode, Cloudflare is free. We are the first host to integrate Cloudflare protection into our control panel. If you are a shared customer, you can enable Cloudflare protection for your domains by clicking on the orange Cloudflare icon in your control panel. We are working on a non-branded version for reseller, vps, and dedicated customers as well, but in the mean time our admins have a script to enable protection for any domain you would like. Simply open a ticket and let us know!
--------------------------------------------------------

Is there by any chance this would be useful for HSPHERE ?

Hello,

It seems like an interesting proposition - however, we already have similar systems already in place on our network and on our servers.

Hope this helps....

Can you highlight on those systems ?

We can indeed highlight while marketing the hosting products !

Hello,

Unfortunately we do not discuss security layers in public as it would give clues to hackers. For the performance bits, you can get that with mod_cache, at least on VPS / dedicated servers or using gzip to compress files.

Now if you want to use them, you can surely do so by changing the A record within hsphere to point the ones they say to point to. However, I would like to point out that they would be the first point of failure in web service and so you would want to make sure that they have good quick support. (you have to change your A records at the very least to them.)
