Another finding that was really surprising these days:

You can now selectively use #Cloudflare for only a few subdomains in their free tier! No more “all or nothing”.

I can keep hosting my own DNS now and use CNAME to delegate some subdomains to Cloudflare if I wish. It requires one single domain hosted on their DNS which is okay to me since I anyway had a domain “<me>-net.net” in addition to my internal “<me>-intra.net” domain.

The magic is called “Cloudflare for SaaS”. It is limited to 100 subdomains but hey, that’s really a lot for offering public services!

Cloudflare for SaaS

Cloudflare for SaaS allows you to extend the security and performance benefits of Cloudflare's network to your customers via their own custom or vanity domains.
