CloudFlare, the web performance and security company, and Parallels, a worldwide
leader in hosting and cloud service enablement, announced that service providers
using Parallels software can now easily activate and resell CloudFlare's
services.
"Moving to the cloud allows a business to get cost-effective access to
enterprise functionality," said John Zanni, Parallels VP Marketing and
Alliances. "We are very happy to see CloudFlare joining the ecosystem of APS
Certified applications to bring enterprise-level website performance and
security to every website online."
"As a result of our partnership with Parallels, we have been able to bring a
number of innovative solutions to our customers," said Celal Ulgen, Chief
Marketing Officer at SoftCom, parent company to the popular myhosting.com. "Now
that CloudFlare is available in Parallels Automation, we will have another
service to further improve our customers' experience."
On average, a website on CloudFlare loads twice as fast, uses 60 percent less
bandwidth and is more secure. Hosting providers offering CloudFlare benefit from
an additional source of revenue, reduced server load, bandwidth savings and
robust denial of service (DDoS) attack protection.
"CloudFlare is so much more than just a content delivery network; the service
optimizes web traffic, protects against online attacks, and provides real-time
statistics," said Marco Houwen, CEO and co-founder of LuxCloud. "We are thrilled
to be adding CloudFlare to our marketplace so that our partners can offer
enhanced performance and increased security to their customers."
"The new Parallels Plesk Panel plugin is a great addition that allows for
quick and easy deployment of CloudFlare on our shared web hosting, virtual and
dedicated servers," said Gerardo Altman, CEO of Velocity Host. "CloudFlare
allows us to get more out of every server and network connection in our cloud."
CloudFlare has grown exponentially over the last year. Today, more than 670
million web surfers enjoy a faster and safer Internet experience each month.
Partnering with Parallels expands the global reach of CloudFlare's performance
and security.
"We are thrilled to work with Parallels and bring website performance and
security to their global customer base who serve more than 10 million SMBs in
130 countries," said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of CloudFlare. "This
integration enables SMBs to make more money and reduce operating costs."
