a partnership with CloudFlare, where we make it easy for you to
enable CloudFlare on your account to take advantage of the benefits
that CloudFlare offers. If you aren't using CloudFlare on your hosting
account, here's 4 reasons why you should:
1. Increase in Site Performance
We use the best quality hardware and network available, so naturally
our web hosting is already fast…but CloudFlare provides an increase in
website performance through their global CDN (Content Delivery
Network). When enabled, the CDN will automatically cache your static
files (JavaScript, CSS, Images, etc.) on their servers locatedacross
strategic data centers around the world. When a visitor visits your
website hosted with GreenGeeks, CloudFlare's Anycast technology will
load those static files from a server located nearest to the visitor
and your dynamiccontent will load from our servers. This results in
fasterload times due to decreased latency between server and visitor.
Through feedback from customers, we've seenincreases of 50% or
moreonsite performance when CloudFlare is enabled.
2. Built-in Security
Security is a big focus here at GreenGeeks. We do everything to ensure
our servers and customer sites are secure from a server standpoint,
but most website defacement's occur due vulnerabilities in the website
code it self. With CloudFlare, you'll be protected against a range
ofthreats: cross site scripting, SQL injection, comment spam,
excessive bot crawling, email harvesters, and more. This is done
automatically and will stop most attacks without the confusing
configurations that are required with othersecurity plugins and tools.
Simply select your security level fromHigh,Medium,LowandEssentially
Off. CloudFlare will even learn about your site and traffic patterns
and adjust its security on the fly.
Of the sites that are using CloudFlare with our web hosting,
CloudFlarestopped over 200,000 threatsin just one week.
3. Easy to Enable with GreenGeeks
It's dead easy to install, so there's no excuse not to enable
CloudFlare. Here's a video that Lawrence made that shows exactly how
to enable CloudFlare on your GreenGeeks sharedand reseller
hostingaccounts. For our VPSand Dedicated customers, simply contact
our support by opening a ticket from within your GreenGeeks Account
Manager. One of our technicians will install the Plugin for you.
4. It's free!
The basic service which will satisfy most of our customers will
costnada, nothing, zilch!Need I say more?
If you're not using CloudFlare, I strongly recommend that you do. A
faster site and a secure site helps with search engine rankings and
really, your customers will have a much better experience on your
website.
