AccuWebHosting has partnered with CloudFlare to offer CloudFlare services to all Linux Shared Hosting customers. The basic CloudFlare services are free and suitable for most of the websites.
Once you activate CloudFlare service for your domain, your website will become part of the CloudFlare community and your website traffic will be routed via CloudFlare's global network. CloudFlare will automatically optimize the delivery of your web pages by caching the static assets (CSS, JS and images, videos) at geographically spread data centres of CloudFlare.

Since CloudFlare will handle your requests, your website traffic will be filtered out against the unwanted requests like crawlers, spiders, malicious traffic and bots. This will save more resources to your legitimate traffic and boost your website's loading speed, security and overall performance.

Now that you've already signed up with CloudFlare, you will see your domain name listed in CloudFlare panel as follows. To activate the CloudFlare service for your domain, simply click on the Provision Domain with CNAME Setup button.

It indicates that your subdomains with orange cloud icon are setup on the CloudFlare CDN now and other subdomains with grey cloud are not on CloudFlare. If you wish you can activate CloudFlare on rest of the subdomains by clicking on corresponding gray clouds.
