Cloudflare · Official Cloudflare PartnerDDoS protection, web application firewall and CDN in front of your Nine infrastructure. Choose an Enterprise License, a fully managed Business License configured and monitored by our Swiss team, or support access for your own licence. With all three options, you can reach us around the clock through our emergency service.
How Cloudflare helps
The web application firewall filters requests before they reach your server, with up to 100 custom WAF rules on the Business License and up to 1,000 on the Enterprise License. On Apache, you can also block bot requests yourself.
How Cloudflare helps
All options include DDoS protection: volumetric and application-layer attacks are mitigated on Cloudflare’s global edge network. The Enterprise License adds Enterprise DDoS mitigation and priority.
How Cloudflare helps
Cloudflare caches your content and delivers it close to your users. Its global network spans 337 locations in over 100 countries (as of June 2026) and reaches 95% of the internet-connected world population within 50ms. The Enterprise License adds global traffic acceleration and caches files up to 5 GB.
How Cloudflare helps
ISO 27001 is included in all our managed licence tiers. The Enterprise License adds SOC 2 Type II and PCI DSS 4.0 compliance, a 100% uptime SLA with service credits and direct support from Cloudflare.
How Cloudflare helps
TLS termination and certificate management at the edge simplify the encrypted delivery of your applications. Cloudflare automatically issues a wildcard certificate for your main and subdomains.
How Cloudflare helps
Keep full control of your existing licence, including dashboard and API, and add our support when you need it.
We offer three Cloudflare options: from a fully managed licence to support for your own licence. Across all three options, we provide a 24/7 emergency service. Hours billed separately cost CHF 250.–.

Cloudflare limits upload size and timeouts depending on the licence, and sub-subdomains need an additional certificate. We help you plan this for your application. You can find technical limits such as cache size, upload limit, timeout and DNS analytics in the full comparison on docs.nine.ch.
Who does what depends on the option you choose.
