i am thinking about the business plan and my only concern is the 100% uptime for my website and to be able to load the ads i am using banners ads that’s working in like Javascript/Html code not really sure
so anyway i am getting tons of traffic right now to my website and all the time my server can’t handle it so i’m getting the 500 Internal server error
so does the Business plan here at Cloudflare gonna help me be 100% uptime all the time 24/7 and my website gonna server ads to all visitors no matter what ? like does my ads gonna show up no matter what to any amount of traffic high volume or not ?
really 1 step away from upgrading to Business plan so please help me Guys
The 100% SLA, doesn’t mean that the server won’t have issues. It simply means that, in case of problems with Cloudflare (they can’t serve traffic, because they have issues internally) they will refund you the percentage of the price you have paid them.
The server remaining up is your responsibility and yours alone. Upgrade it if it’s having so many isssues.
The TL;DR is that the difference is the crawl frequency, but you shouldn’t count on Always Online to keep your website online. I, for one, have it disabled.
As far requests you should expect equal or, ideally if configured correctly, less requests. Cloudflare will do a little number of extra requests if Always Online is active, not much though.
wow i learnt so much from you my friend really appreciate it
about your last update though i really wanna understand a thing you say that less requests will go through Cloudflare if i have Always online ON so does that mean i should still use CLoudflare and Disable Always online ?
Always Online is only active if the webserver doesn’t work and will reply to your users. Otherwise it’s not activated and doesn’t change the numbers. If your domain serves ads it won’t benefit, since the crawler for Always Online starts from the root domain, but I don’t exactly know your setup.
The number of requests going through if Always Online is active in a few tens of requests every few days. You get 200k reqs/h, they won’t matter much regardless.
