Cloudflare is a global network service provider that enhances the security, performance, and reliability of internet properties. It acts as a content delivery network (CDN) and distributed DNS (Domain Name System) service, offering protection against DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks, malicious traffic, and other cyber threats. Cloudflare's infrastructure optimizes the delivery of web content, reducing latency and increasing site speed for users worldwide. Additionally, it provides various tools and analytics to help website administrators manage and monitor their traffic effectively. Cloudflare's services are widely used by websites and applications to ensure a secure, fast, and uninterrupted online presence.
A domain name is a human-readable address used to access websites on the internet, serving as an easy-to-remember alternative to numerical IP addresses. It is part of the Domain Name System (DNS), which translates these domain names into IP addresses that computers use to locate and communicate with each other. A domain name consists of two main parts: the second-level domain (SLD), which is the unique identifier chosen by the user, and the top-level domain (TLD), such as .com, .org, or .net. For example, in "example.com," "example" is the SLD, and ".com" is the TLD. Domain names are essential for branding, marketing, and accessibility on the web.
