    Looks like a great deal, had a quick look and it looks like at the moment its only domain names that have their nameservers pointed to Cloudflare are elegible but I read that later on they will open it up to domain names that dont use the cloudflare system aswell as being able to register new domain names through them.
    Great idea, and good services provided by them, they do a good job at filtering some of the rubbish out on the internet (eg DDOS) etc..

    Thought this sounded good at first, but as its only 1 per account, domainers would have to have hundreds of accounts to manage which would negate any savings over fees. No mention of UK or TV domains etc Just another vehicle for roping you into paid plans.

    @DomainAngel You can add multiple domins per account just adding them atm is indivdually on free plan, althought api supports bulk adding .

    If the product is free or run at no profit YOU are the product. Not saying that's a bad thing just surprising that people still get annoyed over it.

    .uk and .co.uk now supported. $5.24 / year.

    All discount registrars about to go out of business IMO.

    Clouflare are massive - best guess is that they are doing it to build their database and encourage you to use their nameserver and DNS services - I have about 20 domains using their free service - it's good for setting up subdomains for name and MX records, etc
