Cool video! My site is currently on WA hosting (i.e. pointed to WA DNS).
If I change my WA DNS to the free Cloudflare DNS, does that mean my web hosting is with Cloudflare? Or are DNS and web hosting two separate entities?
If I'm on Cloudflare then I can't use WA site support, is that correct?
I am looking into cloudflare right now, my experience is that they do not host your site they somehow enhance it through some other means and you keep your current hosting. I think they might be able to offer ssl for your site where WA doesn't currently allow it. Not sure how that will all interplay just yet but I will keep you posted if you want
Another one that is very good is "wp security" plugin and its free. It has allot of filters block and control all attack to your website.

When I attempt to set up cloud flare, I get these errors:
An A, AAAA or CNAME record was not found for the www subdomain.
and
An A, AAAA or CNAME record was not found pointing to the root domain.
It looks like I have to add these manually. Do you know where I can find this information on the WA site?
