How I can use this service?

The first thing you need is a provider, there is a list of providers who can hire, but if you want to test the system and your web traffic is not outrageously high. You can start with Cloudflare. This is a project that has a free tier where you can begin to enjoy the benefits offered by the technology, just have to sign in, create an account, add your website and change the DNS records for your domain.

If you do not know how to do that or do not have access, you can contact your hosting provider and they should be able to help you. With this technology, your website will be faster, have better security, and your users will have a more satisfying experience while browsing the site.
