CoolHandle Hosting Teams Up With CloudFlare
Leading Hosting Provider Offers Premiere Security and Performance Services to Users

CoolHandle Hosting now provides users with top-notch safety and performance features via CloudFlare. CoolHandle, one of the fastest growing hosting providers, is teaming up with CloudFlare, a cloud-based CDN service, to offer speed and performance upgrades previously reserved for enterprise-level sites to their customer base. CoolHandle has now introduced a control panel plug-in that allows any customer to add CDN services to their websites with just a simple click.

"We see a lot of synergy between CoolHandle and CloudFlare. It just made sense for us to work together. Adding features to further enhance performance for our customers is always welcome," said Ryan Morris, Marketing Director at CoolHandle. "Over on our end, the service reduces load on our servers and greatly improves efficiency and speed. In turn, CloudFlare's services receive greater exposure among our customers."

"We're excited to partner with CoolHandle," says Matthew Prince, CEO of CloudFlare. "The CoolHandle team has been terrific to work with to develop a cPanel plug-in that allows their customers to not only to sign up for the service with one click, but also see basic statistics and CloudFlare settings right from their control panel."

CloudFlare improves website performance by caching content onto its globally distributed network of proxy servers. This extra layer or protection in turn stops potential malicious attacks from crawlers and bots before they reach the customers origin server.
