Universal CloudFlare for all customers

MediaLabz

Would it be possible for the master organization to set a CloudFlare API token and then all customers be able to use that for their DNS?

If this is done it would also be useful to display the CloudFlare nameservers with the DNS section.

Many customers would benefit from using CloudFlare but are not technically able to or are not inclined to set it up themselves.

MediaLabz you mean if they knew what is DNS 😂

Since Cloudflare significantly reduces the load on origin + has WAF/DDoS protection, I would love if everybody had it. But unfortunately, customers typically do not figure it out themselves. Doing it for them involves sharing passwords, waiting for 2FA codes, and manually verifying all the records...

I don't think a big host could realistically hold all the domains on their Cloudflare account without an enterprise plan (their sales team would be calling you if they caught on), but I could see resellers benefiting from this. A reseller might be an agency with 10-20 clients all fully managed.

So if it were to be implemented, it should definitely not be limited to the MO.

Personally, to avoid a lot of DNS headaches, I am using Cloudflare for SaaS where users will only need to CNAME their domain to ours and Cloudflare handles the rest. The origin servers will not even serve traffic not coming from Cloudflare.

Mason Can you share how you set up CF for SaaS?

I think CloudFlare / Bunny for all customers would be great. Especially if the API was leveraged further.

In terms of domain limits for CloudFlare, I recall a forum post from CF support saying you could add as many as you want with no limit - on the free plan.

hwcltjn there’s a cap now

Zoinkies Do you know these limits?

Zoinkies Just had a look through CF forums, unless there's something I'm missing it seems as though there isn't a limit. If you hit it, it's just a question of raising a ticket with CF support.

Would be cool if you knew what the limits were though 🙂

I think 300 domains is the limit. Not sure if it is a soft limit. However my preference remains that it should be there under the dns tab itself as it is currently per website and not a separate feature.

+1 (Also Bunny CDN please so I can avoid 10k month with Cloudflare enterprise)

This limits are for the Cloudflare Pages product:

Not the Cloudflare DNS/CDN.

Andrei wouldn’t bother looking at ssl for SaaS, they’ve put our price up per hostname to almost £8.

Zoinkies Thanks.
