I want to add cloudflare plugin to my cpanel but it requires a host Api key.I requested host Api key so many time but they didn't reply.
Thanked by 1truweb

The question would be, why do you even want to use that shit.
You'll need to apply to become a "partner" at https://www.cloudflare.com/partners/
You have to apply to their partner program
Note: They only accept partners for their "Enterprise" products. "Free/Pro/Business" not allows anymore.
I'm in the same situation. I want to make available to my customers Railgun™
@Shahriar24 @truweb Have you submitted tickets to cloudflare or gone to the community at cloudflare seeking help? What was their reply?
I ditched cloudflare for fluxcdn. Never looked back.
What makes it better?
We use cloud flare here on leb and let and have found it generally good.
They are joke. CDN provider who can't take care of his own domain:
https://fluxcdn.com - OK
https://www.fluxcdn.com - FAIL
Inability to handle CNAME's properly - signalizing of trouble non-the-less.
Didn't see that, but if they can't get such a simple thing then cloudflare is clearly superior.
complicated for some and their admin will change millions for such complicated task 😂
Dear LTniger,
Thanks for the feedback.
We are a DDoS mitigation service that is expanding as a CDN.
Based on it, we have added the www. record to our main domain.
We are not here to compete with Cloudflare, but provide a simple solution to mitigate attacks to our customers.
Allow me to to say that we listen to external opinions and we improve our service based on that. As we are in beta and not in a mature state, there might be some development to do on our side.
If you have any more questions regarding our products, leave me a quote.
Best regards.
Their protection is actually mitigating some of the attacks that bypassed cloudflare's mitigation and thus taking the website offline. As for their billing and subdomains.. Ehhh..
Billing is hardcoded into protugese VAT for some reason, and subdomains have to be added manually via ticket lol.
The main thing is though, that the website stays up now even when under attack. I don't care about rest.
Thanks for the feedback. Our dashboard is still in beta and we plan to have a more simple solution for subdomains and take in account the customer billing data.
I am using fluxcdn for quite a while now, its simple to use and quite effective in performance actually. I also believe there is a lot of scope to expand and they are doing day by day. Welcome @fluxcdn to LET!
So fluxcdn has a cPanel plugin that @OP can use?
Unfortunately not.
Why do you need a fucking cPanel plugin for a CDN?
You just change the resource urls you wanna get delivered by the CDN.
e.g mypornsite.com/style.css to cdn.mypornsite.com/style.css
and point a CNAME to the CDN
BunnyCDN prem
Cpanel plugin available?
Not as far as I know
I sense some hostility towards cPanel.
That was not my point but yes fuck shared hosting.
@fluxcdn
Sorry but I don't see your service taking off. BunnyCDN has more POPs, more granular pricing (and not more expensive than you), and a well earned good reputation as an established CDN.
Don't get me wrong, I like it when a new CDN becomes available, especially a european one, but I don't see why one should chose you instead of Bunny CDN.
Being smaller and largely unknown, and having fewer POPs you either need to provide something the competition can't/doesn't or you must be cheaper.
Thanks for the insight. We are focused on DDoS mitigation and have a dedicated team to understand how new threats behave, blocking them effectively.
We do mainly block threats and currently planning other features to be more competitive.
Looking to expand our network and currently waiting on new servers for the next month. (Asia, North America and Europe)
As we need to absolve a large amount of DDoS attacks per POP, investments are heavy on
the baremetals we have deployed arround the world.
Appreciate your comment!
I stand by my comment. Reasons: (a) you have "CDN" in your name and most potential clients will not understand the advantage you presumably have over BunnyCDN, (b) you rely on the (only partially true) assumption that CDN and Anti-DDOS are different things, and (c) you are still quite unknown.
Again, don't get me wrong, but 90+% of potential customers think - and expect - that a CDN also somehow protects them from at least small and mid-size attacks plus, and worse for you, the unknown player with presumably not millions of $ for marketing, must explain something that is hard to understand for most clients.
And btw, how well are you protected, in particular your client panel/interface? Because running an Anti-DDOS service will make you a significant target and something hacked together in PHP or Ruby won't cut it.
@jsg Honestly there is no need for too many POPs: better some well connected POPs than a lot of POPs where your files won't necessarily be stored and this will end up being a MISS and fetch to the origin, don't you think? IMO 1 POP in AU is enough for example. Sure in this example some places are clearly lacking, but adding just a few more POPs (SG / KH or JP and SA?) would probably be enough for good results all around the world. BTW @fluxcdn using CF for your own DSN doesn't look very professional, and your website doesn't give much information on the service you provide and how it does work...
What's truly interesting is that in this world, no one knows or understands everything. It's why companies or for profit individuals can make money usually - by knowing just that bit extra more than the folks they're marketing and selling to. Sure there's value added offerings to differentiate. But then those companies wouldn't be targeting those who know that bit extra to differentiate services
As customers, we choose what we choose based on what we know (or don't know/understand) and that isn't necessarily the optimal choice
I'd imagine the global and regional specific CDN markets are very big - enough room for alot of folks to make a living even if they aren't the best right now. Remember when cdn77 and keycdn and even bunnycdn came to market when they were unknown at the beginning ?
Not taking sides, just giving my AUD$0.02
jsg, did you even read? Because its currently the only one out of all we tested from sucuri, cloudflare and etc to protect our badly optimized xenforo forums and sourcebans page from being down 24/7 all the time.
Maybe bunnyCDN can do that too, but the bandwidth costs would cost us an organ or two alone cause of the amount of traffic the website eats when its under attack.
Cloudflare can protect for Xenforo forums as well just needs more manual setup for layer 7 attacks via CF Firewall Rules and tweaking CF WAF. And Xenforo is far from badly optimized itself.
If you are concern with security and privacy, you should never use CDN especially for JavaScript and such.... unless you trust the CDN provider and you are on a dedicated IP. We tested Cloudflare years ago and found some security issue so we ditched it.
