> 
> Once you overcome the learning curve, Cloudflare becomes an essential and valuable addition to your online. It not only provides security, but also improves performance. It is a win-win on both fronts.

### "Cloudflare is beast in cloud security . Yes I said they are beasts\!" — 5.0/5

> **Daniel R.** | *15 September 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I am BIG on Cybersecurity and Cloudflare is the best. I remember reading an article about how they were able to fend of the largest DDOS attack in history and I am not surprised. For $25 a month I get full domain protection and they have build in ruleset that stop attacks and I am able to use my own rules sets as well. I love all the features. I can even Livestream and have a secure cloud service of my videos with them for just an additional 5-10 dollars per month is
> 
> **Cons**: What I like least is that you can't contact customer support during an attack unless you have the business plan which is $250 per month
