If you don't want to change your nameservers to Cloudflare (Takes up to 24 hours), try Kloudsec, and enable Offline Protection. Caches (like Cloudflare), and better, it archives your site even if your origin server is down.
For Kloudsec, all you have to do is to update your A records to point to the CDN IP.
- ultramancool 11y agoA few notes on why I'd stick with CloudFlare personally: In my experience the NS transfer takes 20 minutes tops. Part of the idea with CloudFlare being nameserver on down is that DNS is a great thing to hit if you're performing a DDoS attack. Also, CloudFlare does offer the offline mode feature, it's called "Always Online". It's also free for more than 1 page, unlike the Kloudsec one. It also seems weird to me that they bill for their "webshield" on a per-attack basis... someone firing an automated scanner against you could be costing you money big time. These guys also don't have the same reputation as CF for being bulletproof (though I haven't heard bad things about them yet either) and they have some limits on their free plan which CF does not have. Interesting though - always glad to see some competition brewing. I know where I'm taking my business if CF steers me wrong somehow. This looks a lot cheaper than other alternatives.
