Hosting Cloudflare

Cloudflare setup, hardening, and Zero Trust

Zero-downtime DNS Email records included
3-5 day delivery Most setups done in under a week
Honest "no" We say when Cloudflare isn't the answer

Cloudflare is free to start, and that’s the trap. The free tier covers most small sites, but the dashboard is deep, and the defaults aren’t tuned for your stack. Turning it on does almost nothing on its own. It needs configuration to actually protect something, and the wrong configuration breaks email, breaks staging, or quietly lets bots back in through a rule someone forgot to test.

We treat Cloudflare as part of your hosting stack, not a checkbox. The setup we run lines up the WAF, the cache, the rate limits, and Zero Trust access so they reinforce each other. Then we hand it back with a doc your team can actually use.

What we set up on Cloudflare

Five concrete things we configure

The setup we run for a production site covers the parts that matter and skips the toggles that don't.

DNS migration

Move DNS onto Cloudflare without downtime, including email records so your mail doesn't break the day you switch.

WAF rules tuned to your CMS

Not the generic ruleset. WordPress, OpenCart, and a plain server each need different rules, and we tune to what you actually run.

Rate limiting and bot protection

Applied to login pages, checkout, and the API. That's where the automated abuse actually lands.

Cache and page rules

Static assets served from the edge, so your origin stops doing work it doesn't need to.

Zero Trust access in front of admin

wp-admin, panel logins, and staging sites end up behind an identity login instead of sitting open to the internet.

Zero Trust

Without the homelab tutorials

Search “cloudflare zero trust setup” and you mostly get guides written for hobbyists exposing a home server. That’s not the problem most businesses have. For a business, Zero Trust usually means one thing: stop leaving wp-admin and your hosting panel open to every bot on the internet, and put them behind a login tied to your team’s identity instead of a VPN nobody maintains. We set that up, write the access policies, and hand you something your team can actually use. If you want the full bundle with tunnels and device posture, that’s our Cloudflare Zero Trust bundle.

Reality check

Where Cloudflare helps, and where it doesn't

Cloudflare is a layer in front of your site. It will block a lot of junk traffic, hide your origin IP, and absorb most low-effort attacks. It will not fix a site that’s already hacked, and it won’t rescue a slow database. Those are origin problems, and they need work on the origin. If your site has been breached, start with a security audit first, then put Cloudflare in front of the cleaned-up site. We’re happy to say when Cloudflare isn’t the answer.

When to call us

When you should hand it over

Most people manage a basic Cloudflare account fine on their own. You’ll want help when the WAF starts blocking real users, when you need Zero Trust access for a team, when DNS or email breaks after a migration, or when you’re running Cloudflare in front of a panel like CyberPanel and want the two tuned to work together. Setups start at $290 and most are done in three to five business days.

Where this fits

Where this fits in the stack

This sits in the hosting layer of our hosting support, and we usually pair it with security work rather than selling it alone. If you’ve just been hacked, start with restoration. There’s no point putting Cloudflare in front of a site that’s still infected. If you’re starting fresh or migrating, we can roll Cloudflare into the hosting setup, so the DNS swap, the WAF rules, and the origin work all line up the same week.

For team-grade access (tunnels, device posture, identity-tied login for everyone who touches the admin area), look at the Cloudflare Zero Trust bundle. That’s the same work as a fixed-scope deliverable at $690.
