Via and , I recently came across the recently-launched . I thought I'd post here to let others know about it, and to see what NetHosted thought of it in general.

Briefly put, a web master changes their domain's authoritative name servers to CloudFlare's, and then the service selectively caches static content (e.g. images and CSS) and serves it via it's Content Delivery Network. HTML is not cached, meaning changes in documents themselves are still instantly served. The nearest data centre to the UK is in Amsterdam, but (according to them) it's fast from there. They also add a layer of security measures.

I've signed up and will probably test it out on one site which is hosted here at NetHosted to see what effect it has on performance and bandwidth usage.

There's which might want to consider becoming partners.
