Interesting. I attempted to sign up on CloudFlare's platform but received the response that I must contact them directly to "use the features of CloudFlare" for my domain. I'm interested in testing CloudFlare, but I don't feel like having to submit a blanket request in a generic "contact us" Web form.
I wonder what the reasons are why my business is excluded from participating from initial sign-up? We are a highly trafficked site, so on the surface it seems to me someone might be talking to me shortly on the "up-sell" side of things. Agh..
We have a limit in place for big sites (top 2,000 according to Quantcast, if I recall correctly). Email us the site and we'll get the block lifted. Not an upsell, just something we do to make sure we're watching carefully when big guys come on board.
Thanks for the quick update - understood on the methodology. We're at about 2400 on Quantcast if I recall, so I'll pop in and shoot you guys a message.
Just a quick suggestion.... you might indicate that to the requestor instead of the generic "contact us" response. You could easily drive away someone who might want to POC your service but then ultimately decides to move on to the next task. And that someone could be a big guy.
Agreed. It's a remnant from when we first launched on stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 7 months ago. We'll get the error revised, and I'll get the restriction lifted ASAP.
