Can I use CloudFlare with my existing hosting provider?

Asked a year ago
Yes, CloudFlare is designed to work seamlessly with any existing hosting provider. It is a content delivery network (CDN) that sits between the visitor and the hosting provider, optimizing website performance and security. By simply changing your domain's DNS settings to point to CloudFlare's nameservers, you can start benefiting from its features. CloudFlare's global network ensures that your website's static files are cached and delivered from the nearest server to the visitor, resulting in faster loading times. It also provides protection against various online threats, such as DDoS attacks and malicious bots, by filtering out unwanted traffic. Additionally, CloudFlare offers SSL/TLS encryption and other performance-enhancing features that can greatly improve the performance, reliability, and security of your website, regardless of your hosting provider.
