A week ago I was contacted by Cloudflare Business Development (Marsha) who tried to upsell me the DDoS solutions of Cloudflare. I sent some follow-up questions but I never got a response so I’m posting them here.
When looking into the options I noticed that the different plans also offer vanity servers (or custom DNS server names). This is free of charge at most domain name registrars and it would probably be overkill for most people to subscribe only for that reason. For me it would be attractive it it can be used for the entire account (not just one domain name).
So I’m interested in custom nameservers (vanity servers) as per
https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/additional-options/custom-nameservers/ but:
- Its only available on Business and Enterprise plans.
- I don’t want to use it on just one domain but would like to apply it on all domains in my account.
I can only attach one domain to a Business Plan?
Reading https://www.cloudflare.com/plans/faq/
Quote: "What determines the total amount billed?
"Our pricing is on a ‘per-domain’ basis. That means that every domain is charged separately "
But here its lined out differently for the custom name servers feature:
https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/additional-options/custom-nameservers/#availability
Quote:
“Account custom nameservers are available for customers on Business (after contacting Cloudflare Support) or Enterprise plans. Once configured, account custom nameservers can be used by all zones in the account, regardless of the zone plan. Via API only.”
PS. The free plan is really good enough for me to block bad actors (configuring the WAF rules accordingly).
The WordPress APO Plugin would be cool to have, however I can only use it for one site as well.
