Ask HN: Cloudfare, why use it?
I am just stuck on what exactly clodefare does. Can you guys explain to a noob on the benefits of using clodefare vs another DNS provider, like either hosting your own, or your hosting providers DNS?
- bengunnink 12y agoStrictly speaking, size and distribution. You only mentioned DNS, but it's worth noting that CloudFlare isn't just a DNS provider; it's also basically a big CDN, or actually more like a great big proxy server. (Note: I've never actually used CF, so this is all simply my understanding).
