It's not hosted on Cloudflare as such, it's hosted in AWS. But Cloudflare is a service that sits in front of the site and speeds up the site with caching and some other technologies. It also provides a layer of security, eg keeping bots at bay etc.

But yeah, we were affected for a short while by it going down. Don't think it was Russians wot did it though, I think it was muslims. Joke! before anyone piles on.
