EasyPay

In today's internet era, websites are not just business cards for showcasing services; they are also bridges connecting users and markets. With increasing competition and frequent cyberattacks, the security, access speed, and stability of a site have become key factors determining success or failure.

The globally renowned CDN and security acceleration service provider Cloudflare, with its powerful network nodes and protective capabilities, has become the first choice for countless webmasters. Although Cloudflare offers a free basic plan, if you truly want to achieve a qualitative improvement in performance and security, the Pro version ($25/month) is the most worthwhile investment.

However, for many domestic users, the payment process has become a significant obstacle:

• Most local bank cards do not support international subscriptions;
• Low PayPal binding rates and complex verification;
• Even if binding is successful, it is easy to encounter risk control issues.

Thus, virtual credit cards have become the optimal solution. Through the [EasyPay] platform, users can easily apply for a globally accepted virtual Visa card, allowing them to successfully complete the Cloudflare Pro subscription and completely eliminate payment difficulties.

1. Why Upgrade to Cloudflare Pro?#

Many webmasters may initially feel that the free version is sufficient, but as the website scales and the number of visitors increases, the limitations of the free version will gradually become apparent. The advantages of upgrading to Pro mainly manifest in the following aspects:

1. Advanced Protection Mechanisms

   • The built-in Web Application Firewall (WAF) in the Pro version can defend against more types of attacks, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and malicious bot crawlers.
   • Protection for e-commerce sites, membership systems, and backend management pages is particularly important.

2. Comprehensive Performance Improvement

   • The free version only provides basic caching, while Pro supports 20 page rules (only 3 for the free version), allowing for flexible caching and redirection strategies.
   • Image optimization features (Polish, Mirage) can automatically compress and resize images, making mobile access smoother.

3. Global Network Advantages

   • Cloudflare's nodes cover over 100 countries, and Pro users can enjoy faster network routing, significantly improving cross-border access speed.

4. More Extended Features

   • Support for HTTP/3 protocol;
   • Smart routing Argo (requires additional payment, but easier to enable for Pro users);
   • Custom error pages to enhance brand professionalism.

In simple terms, if your website is positioned in e-commerce, cross-border business, content distribution, or SaaS services, upgrading to Pro is an essential investment.

2. Registering Cloudflare and Connecting Your Website#

The operation process is not complicated and can be roughly divided into the following steps:

1. Register an Account
   • Open [Cloudflare Official Website], enter your email and password to register;
   • It is recommended to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to enhance account security.

3. Add Your Website

   • After logging in, select "Add Site" and enter your domain name;
   • The system will automatically scan DNS records.

4. Modify Domain Resolution

   • Cloudflare will assign new NS addresses;
   • Change the NS records in your domain provider's backend;
   • Generally, it takes a few minutes to a few hours to take effect.

After completing these operations, your website will be connected to Cloudflare's acceleration and security network.

3. Virtual Credit Card: The Key Tool for Paying for Cloudflare Pro#
