We are now offering CloudFlare free to all eleven2 customers!

CloudFlare brings faster performance to your site by caching you’re sites content around the world on it’s CDN. Meaning your sites content is on servers which are closer to users all round the world, resulting in much faster loading times. This also means that if your server goes offline, your site will still be available!

Cool. I've been using Cloudflare across most of my sites already. Really does wonders!

Sorry to be nit-picky... but I would rather you find out now than have who knows how many visitors see it and have it reflect poorly on you.
On the page: http://www.eleven2.com/supercharged/

Q3 asks "Is it Free or do I have to pay?"
The answer says "Heres the best bit! CloudFlare is completely 100% free to all every customers! You won't have to pay a penny to use this service!"

You need to choose if you want it "free to all customers" or "free to every customer"... not "all every customers!" =D
Additionally Heres should be Here's..

Sorry... had to do it.

I was interested in trying out the CloudFlare services, but I did not see the option in my cPanel and on the knowledgebase base, https://www.eleven2....hin-cPanel.html, there was also a mention of an e2 Panel and I do not see that either.

[Andy Johnson]

Don,

Whats your primary account domain? And I can look into why this isn't showing for you.

[Don]

@Andy newelementdesigns.com. Thanks.

[Andy Johnson]

Hey Don,

You can't see the e2panel on your account because your a reseller. It's for Shared only at the moment.

As for CloudFlare, i'm investigating why this isn't installed on your server, and will get back to you asap.

[Don]

Thanks. I'd like to try it out when it's available.

[Andy Johnson]

Hi Don,

If you check your cPanel now, you will be able to see CloudFlare.

[Don]

I see it. Thank you sir.

[Andy Johnson]

No problem Don,

If there's anything else you need feel free to start another forum topic.

How can I tell if Cloudflare is working ok? When I login to Cloudflare's website I do not see any stats. I think I've had it turned on for about 2 weeks now. Edited to show screenshot: http://d.pr/qHH0

[Andy Johnson]

Hey Don,

I think you are ment to view all the stats through the CloudFlare option in cPanel.

We used CloudFlare as a support recomendation to fix the endless issues with the echo server, it works great if the server does not have any problem, but if the server is down, CloudFlare shows a warning on the site that remains long after the Eleven2 server is back up..we had to deactivate it..too bad

I had used CloudFlare for 4 months. It went well almost. It is good server basically.

But 3 problems was there.

1. CloudFlare change Javascript. - On Wordpress, I used to JCE advance as editor. Some button like 'link' don't work properly. And Joomla! site also.

2. When CloudFlare is not stable(getting attack or something), they show message my site down. It was not true. At the time, I was able to access without CloudFlare.

3. This was big reason I stoped to use the service. Suddenly I was not able to connect admin area of all my sites. I checked and found when tried to connect with authoring, they showed message 'site down'. I was able to access as an user to my sites, but when logined(also as an user), they showed 'site down'.
And soon I tried to connect with them and report. But no response from them.
I had used to this service for my 4 domains. And I resigned 2 domain.(Name server changed to point directly web server) After a while, every thing was fine with resigned domain. But still 2 domain used CloudFlare, kept those problem.

So now I don't use CloudFlare anymore. I will use this for my new simple site I work on now. But no more CMS sites.(CMS generated complex output. So it is too hard to find reason when something wrong.)

If you use this service, remeber the service work as proxy. Your site stableity is E2 server's stablitly x CloudFlare's one. Because the service don't chach your HTMLs. So watch out for several months if it work properly. (Or...select paid plan. So maybe you can get fast respons from them when something trouble happen. )

@Andy, I'm not seeing stats in cPanel either. See screenshot: http://d.pr/nX1n

[Andy Johnson]

Hey Don,

Let me look further into this for you and I'll get you a reply shortly.

[Andy Johnson]

Hey Don,

It doesn't look like you have CloudFlare installed. (no DNS pointing to CloudFlare)

http://network-tools...mentdesigns.com

Have you configured your DNS properly?

[Don]

Andy,

My apologies, I was not aware that I needed to change DNS for CloudFlare. Where is the documentation to support this?
