FAQs

How do I move to Cloudflare?

Head to Cloudflare to set up your account and DNS requirements – let us know if you need advice on the package type you’ll need! Then once you’re good to go, Prodo will manage your Cloudflare account on your behalf, working alongside your in-house IT teams.

How long does it take?

Typically the move will take a couple of weeks to complete but this relies on both sides working together and Prodo having access to your Cloudflare account as soon as possible to carry out the onboarding tasks.

How much does it cost?

The implementation and setup by Prodo has a small cost, but the Cloudflare packages start from free depending on additional features and services. We will be on hand to ensure you get the best deal to meet your security needs and requirements.
