Cloudflare is an excellent service from many points of view, and for the owners of their websites administratorWeb systems are often an oxygen bubble. DNS manager, system of Caching, administration SSL with rules of force redirection HTTPS, crypto, firewall and many other options are available for free via Cloudflare.
In order to benefit from the Cloudflare service, users must open a free account and add domain or domains to the console. After this step, the domain name registrant will add the new nameserver (s) indicated in the Cloud Account. From that point on, all DNS administration will be done from this service.
Like any service, even if everything works well in most of the time, there are times (quite rarely) where website owners are confronted with problems whose source is Cloudflare.
