Why ServerShield by CloudFlare is not available for installation or purchase in Plesk?

Question

It is not possible to purchase and install ServerShield by CloudFlare anymore, what happened?

Answer

Cloudflare ServerShield extension in Plesk is not available for installation or license purchasing anymore since the 28th of February 2020.

Note: Those customers who have the extension already installed and licensed will be able to use it, however, it is done at their own will and risk as the extension is no longer supported.

• Why it has been removed from the catalog?

  CloudFlare who is an extension vendor is not maintaining it anymore. 

• Can I still use CloudFlare and Plesk?

  Sure! CloudFlare as service can always be used with Plesk- it works also without the Plesk based integration. Extension was just making this process easier for multiple websites.

• Do you have any alternatives?

  A new Cloudflare extension has been released and is ready for production. However, it should be noted it does not allow customers to add their Cloudflare account and manage their domains in Cloudflare. Admins can however add customer domains to their own Cloudflare account.
