On October 4, 2012, Parallels announced a partnership with CloudFlare to make it easier for service providers like web hosts to grow their businesses by offering thousands of applications and cloud services to small and medium businesses (SMBs) in over 130 countries. The partnership allows Parallels Plesk Panel 11 and 10.4 service providers to offer CloudFlare's performance and security features through the APS catalog, with easy installation and two plans available: CloudFlare Free and CloudFlare Performance Plus. This collaboration benefits both parties by enabling Parallels Service Providers to resell CloudFlare to their customers and generate revenue while expanding CloudFlare's reach to more websites worldwide.
