You might have got many questions. Keep reading below and get all the answers in this blog!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is Cloud-Flare Stopping the cPanel Plugin Support?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s the maintenance and support costs of the plugin, says the official notification email from Cloudflare! This is the main reason why Cloudflare\u2019s management decided to conclude the cPanel plugin support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To add it up, the company wasn\u2019t getting much of the paying customer conversions through the cPanel plugin. Rather customers using free <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.co.uk\/hosting\/cloudflare-hosting\">Cloudflare<\/a> services were likely to convert into payable clients by directly visiting Cloudflare&#8217;s website, as opposed to the cPanel plugin.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s Next? Without the Cloudflare cPanel Plugin&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything is changing with the ending life of the cPanel plugin. Now onwards you will no longer be able to use or modify Cloudflare\u2019s settings through the cPanel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, as an end client, you\u2019ll need to sign-up manually for Cloudflare on cloudflare.com and change the DNS servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you log in directly to your cloudflare.com account you will get to see all the existing Cloudflare-powered sites in the dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Advantages of Direct Cloudflare Integration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, as you have to manually switch the DNS servers to those of Cloudflare you will get robust integration with the Cloudflare architecture as compared to the cPanel plugin. The DNS lookups will be running faster now and you don\u2019t have to worry about switching web hosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here you will find more information related to this update on: <a href=\"https:\/\/support.cloudflare.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360042380772-Partner-Plugin-Supportability\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">https:\/\/support.cloudflare.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360042380772-Partner-Plugin-Supportability<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s an important notification for you all!
