Secure domains with trusted Cloudflare Registrar

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 28 (Bernama) --  Cloudflare Inc, the leading Internet performance and security company, has announced early access of Cloudflare Registrar, the first registrar built around trust, security, and fair wholesale pricing.

Cloudflare said in a statement the Registrar is a gift to the Internet. Registrars protect domains from being compromised and their owners from the resulting consequences.

A compromised domain means completely losing security functionality, control over website content and the potential of redirecting web traffic to another IP address, ultimately damaging a brand’s reputation.

The Cloudflare Registrar has built-in two-factor authentication, automatic domain lock, WHOIS privacy protection and security best-practices like automatic DNSSEC -- all at no extra cost.

The marketplace for domain registration has been stagnant and manipulative. Registrars lure customers in with low registration fees and end up charging them extremely high renewal fees.

They also trick users into purchasing services they do not need or charge fees for critical services that are otherwise offered for free, like SSL.

Cloudflare’s Registrar is offering a fairly-priced solution with no markup from wholesale pricing, initially and at every renewal to all of Cloudflare’s customers.

“When we looked at the marketplace for domain registration, we were shocked at the deceitful pricing around a service that is really just a commodity,” said co-founder and chief executive officer of Cloudflare, Matthew Prince.

Prince said: “We realized that the one thing every Cloudflare customer needs is a domain, so they needed a registrar they could trust. With Cloudflare Registrar, we’re promising to offer our customers the best security practices at the best possible price. Our goal is simply to create the first domain registrar you can love.

Today, the company runs one of the world’s largest networks that powers more than 10 trillion requests per month, which is nearly 10 per cent of all Internet requests. More details on www.cloudflare.com
