🌐 Cloudflare cPanel CLI Installation

Cloudflare is a content delivery network (CDN) with built-in DDoS protection. It improves website speed, security, and reliability. Installing the Cloudflare cPanel CLI plugin integrates Cloudflare directly into cPanel, giving users an icon to manage their domains.

🔹 Step 1: Log in as root and move to cPanel directory

🔹 Step 2: Download the Cloudflare package

🔹 Step 3: Extract the package

This will create a directory with a unique ID, for example:

🔹 Step 4: Navigate and install Cloudflare

Replace UNIQUE_ID with your extracted folder’s ID.

Run the installer:

Replace values:

• API_HOST_KEY → from Cloudflare panel

• "user Company Name" → Hostname of the server

• mod_cf → to install mod_Cloudflare module

👉 Installation takes 30 seconds to 5 minutes.
👉 If successful, you’ll see:

👉 A Cloudflare icon will now appear in cPanel.
