Security, reliability and speed everywhere. More easily manage your website DNS.
We use Cloudflare to manage our website DNS and domain names and also as a CDN (Content Delivery Network) to speed up our site. Some 60%+ of the internet relies on Cloudflare, and you get most of these great features for free.
Rating: A
You can essentially use Cloudflare for free, just to better manage your website DNS all in one place.
They also allow you to purchase domain names and manage them all in one place.
Simply set up your Nameservers to go through Cloudflare, and they add a layer of protection and CDN (Content delivery network) to your website.
Cloudflare provides serverless compute services via Cloudflare Workers, a platform for building and deploying JavaScript functions that run on the Cloudflare edge network.
Want to set up complex email routing and even run emails through a Cloudflare Worker to format data before delivering it to the inbox you want it to go into? They do that too! Super powerful.
Okay, Cloudflare just does a lot, and most of it is totally free for quite high usage.

Show me one DNS provider that has an exceptional UI for managing DNS records and websites. They all suck. If there's a single company that's innovating in the design and layout of DNS settings and site management, it's for sure Cloudflare.
Rating: B
Mainly deducting points because they have so many services, that it's easy to get lost in the navigation when trying to do simple things. They also rename their services from time to time to make things a bit more confusing. Not a huge deal in the day-to-day usage though.
All other DNS providers are also super slow to propagate changes when they're made. Cloudflare on the other hand is usually instant which is fantastic.
Rating: A
We have gotten so much value from Cloudflare over the past decade, and we still have not paid Cloudflare for anything (aside for the domains we purchase through it, but they charge at cost, so you're paying less with them than any other domain registrar out there).
There's genuinely no reason to not give Cloudflare a shot. They are free and have an incredibly UI/UX and just make DNS management more enjoyable.
