It might have just been on some home server at the time (it might still be) I 
am not 100% sure of the reasons :P I am just saying Julian asked me to keep 
the link to myself so I did... Perhaps things are different now, we will just 
need to wait on his feedback.

I am in no way blaming Julian, btw, I am just saying that it's on his server 
and the last time we had talked about it (a year+ ago), he wanted me to keep 
the link to myself. I didn't really ask why because I didn't have a need to 
share it :P

BTW I love cloudflare and use it on most of my domains (even cloudflare pro 
on one of them)
