Cloudflare Enterprise Add-on
Cloudflare's Enterprise tier normally means a contract negotiated at volume, priced in the thousands per month. xCloud already holds one — so you can put a single domain behind it for five dollars. Global CDN across 330+ cities, full-page edge caching, managed WAF and unmetered DDoS protection, switched on from the dashboard you already use.
Every switch on that middle box lives in your xCloud dashboard — no Cloudflare account, no second login
Pricing
One price covers the whole suite — CDN, edge caching, WAF, DDoS and analytics — on every domain you enable.
$5/ domain / month
Each subscription covers one domain, and subdomains count as their own domain. Enable the ones that need it, manage them together on the Addons page, and remove any one of them without touching the rest.
No free trial, and add-on purchases are non-refundable once activated — check the domain and billing details before you subscribe. There's no contract and no minimum term.
The maths
Cloudflare sells access by the plan, priced per domain, and reserves the Enterprise tier for negotiated annual contracts that start in the thousands per month. xCloud already holds one of those contracts — the add-on attaches your domain to it for $5.

Cloudflare plan prices are their published month-to-month rates as of 2 August 2026 and are charged per domain; annual billing is lower. Enterprise is a negotiated annual contract with no public price. Feature availability on Cloudflare's own tiers is summarised, not exhaustive — check cloudflare.com/plans for their current terms.
Cloudflare doesn't publish an Enterprise price. It's sold as a negotiated annual contract, quoted per organisation on traffic, domain count and which add-on products you want, and entry-level deals are widely reported to start around $5,000 a month. That's the tier this add-on runs on — you're joining xCloud's existing contract as a custom hostname rather than signing one of your own, which is the only reason a per-domain price of $5 is possible.
Cloudflare's free plan gives you CDN caching for static assets and unmetered DDoS protection, which is genuinely good and enough for many sites. Pro is $25 a month per domain and adds image optimization and a fuller WAF ruleset. Business is $250 a month per domain. Argo Smart Routing and tiered caching are paid extras on top of all three, and none of them cache full HTML pages at the edge without you writing the rules yourself.
No — and this is where the add-on differs from signing up to Cloudflare directly. Their own plans expect you to move your domain's nameservers to Cloudflare and run DNS there. This runs on Cloudflare for SaaS instead: your domain joins xCloud's account as a custom hostname, so your registrar and DNS provider stay exactly where they are and you add one CNAME record.
It's the same network, on a higher tier. Free and Enterprise both serve from 330+ cities, but Enterprise adds the managed WAF rulesets, priority routing, Argo and tiered caching, and full-page edge caching for WordPress and WooCommerce — the things that move time-to-first-byte rather than just offloading images.

What you get
The same three things every enterprise CDN promises. Here is the mechanism behind each one, and everything switched on for your $5.
Every feature below runs on Cloudflare's Enterprise tier
Static assets and full HTML pages are served from whichever of Cloudflare's 330+ locations is closest, instead of a round trip to your server. Argo Smart Routing sends the requests that can't be cached down the fastest live path across the network — Cloudflare measures that at up to 30% faster — and tiered caching keeps neighbouring data centres sharing what they've already fetched, cutting origin requests by up to 60%.
A security plugin can only act once the request has already reached your origin and spent its CPU. Cloudflare's managed WAF rulesets sit in front of the site and drop OWASP-class attacks, exploit scans and zero-days before they arrive. Volumetric DDoS is absorbed by one of the largest networks on the internet — unmetered, at layers 3, 4 and 7.
There is no second dashboard and no Cloudflare account to create. Every toggle, every purge and every report lives in xCloud, next to the server and site they belong to. Traffic, cache performance and security events go back as far as 30 days and as fine as the last 30 minutes — top pages, countries, devices and IPs — and cache purges go out worldwide from the Overview tab.
Setup
Your DNS provider stays where it is. Your nameservers stay where they are. One record changes.
In your xCloud dashboard, open Addons, find Cloudflare Enterprise and hit Enable. Pick the domain from the dropdown and pay — $5 for the month, no contract attached to it.
xCloud shows you the exact record to add at your existing DNS provider. Your nameservers do not move and your DNS host does not change — the domain joins xCloud's Cloudflare account as a custom hostname.
Refresh the domain status; it flips to Active. Sensible defaults are already on, and the Settings tab is there when you want to change caching, WAF or anything else.
Who it's for
Catalogue and product pages come off the edge while carts and checkout stay dynamic, and the WAF sits in front of the payment flow.
Turn it on for the client sites that need it, at a per-domain cost you can put on an invoice as a CDN and security line item.
Serve heavy pages and images worldwide from the edge, and block AI crawlers from scraping the work you're paid for.
Absorb the spike — and anything that shows up alongside it — at the edge, so your origin stays calm through the launch.
Rate limiting, Under Attack Mode and real-time security reporting keep logged-in experiences fast and protected.
Visitors on every continent load from the nearest of 330+ locations instead of one distant server.
Social proof
I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.
Dan SpinozaI came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.
Jared McDowellI went from Cloudways to xCloud. No intention on switching in the foreseeable future.
Blaine MooreFAQ
A fully managed, per-domain integration that puts your website on Cloudflare's Enterprise network. Enterprise normally means a contract negotiated directly with Cloudflare at volume. xCloud already holds that contract, so you get global CDN acceleration, enterprise WAF and DDoS protection, edge caching, image optimization and real-time analytics for $5 a domain — with no negotiation, no minimum commitment and no Cloudflare account of your own.
No, and you never log into Cloudflare at all. Cache rules, WAF toggles, purges, analytics and security events are all in your xCloud dashboard.
Because you're not buying a plan — you're joining one. xCloud holds an Enterprise contract with Cloudflare and the add-on attaches your domain to it as a custom hostname, so the cost is a share of a network already paid for rather than a new subscription. That is also why Argo Smart Routing and tiered caching are included here and are paid add-ons on Cloudflare's own Pro and Business plans.
Not at the moment. At $5 per domain with no contract you can enable it, run it on your own site and cancel whenever you want — but it starts billing straight away.
No. Like every xCloud add-on, the Cloudflare Enterprise add-on is non-refundable once the subscription is activated. Add-on purchases are final, so check the domain, price and billing details before you subscribe. The full terms are in the xCloud Refund Policy.
It's $5 per month per domain, and each subscription covers one domain. Subdomains count as separate domains. Subscribe to each one you want covered and manage them together from the Addons page. You can remove any single domain at any time without touching the others.
Yes, and the caching is aware of both. Full pages are cached at the edge while carts, checkout and logged-in sessions bypass the cache automatically, so shoppers never see someone else's basket. When you turn on Edge Page Caching, xCloud disables local page caching for that site so the two layers can't conflict.
Yes. Early Hints, ScrapeShield, static caching, edge page caching, image optimization and the SSL cipher profile are all switchable, as are the WAF, rate limiting, browser integrity check, Under Attack Mode and AI crawler blocking. The defaults are already tuned; save after changing a toggle and xCloud persists it for the site.
Request summary, cache performance and security events, over ranges from the last 30 minutes to the last 30 days, with your top pages, countries, devices and IPs — all in the xCloud dashboard rather than a separate Cloudflare console.
It should help. Search engines weigh page speed and availability, and this improves both — pages come off the edge, and the WAF and DDoS mitigation keep the site reachable during attacks that would otherwise take your server, and the crawler, offline.
Your team needs to be billing-enabled and eligible to purchase add-ons, the site has to already exist under a server, and you need access to add a DNS record for the domain at whichever provider hosts it.
Enterprise speed and always-on protection on any domain, for $5 a month. One CNAME, live in minutes, and yours to switch off whenever you want.
