Managed Hosting Add-On
When malicious traffic hits, blocking IPs one by one is a game of whack-a-mole — attackers rotate addresses and spread load across many sources. A WAF stops patterns and floods at the edge instead. Choose Cloudflare or AWS — we handle setup and ongoing management.
Customers get targeted with scrapers, credential stuffing, and flood traffic. We can block IPs at the firewall, but that often fails when the attacker rotates addresses or distributes the attack across many IPs — you spend time chasing sources while the origin still takes the hit.
A web application firewall sits in front of the site and filters by behavior: known attack signatures, rate limits, bot controls, and custom rules. That stops more of the noise before it reaches your servers. For managed hosting customers, Tierney Dynamics offers Cloudflare and AWS options at the vendor Free and Pro tiers, plus a flat management fee and (for Cloudflare) a one-time setup that includes a tunnel so the origin is not left open on the public internet.
Platform rates below match current vendor list pricing. Free flat-rate plans include a $20/mo management fee. Pro plans are $30/mo management, with a 6-month special at $20/mo. AWS WAF pay-as-you-go is usage-only. Vendor pricing can change; we bill platform costs at the then-current published rate.
Free and Pro platform rates from cloudflare.com/plans, quoted month-to-month with no annual commitment. One-time $99 setup includes a Cloudflare Tunnel.

Billed on AWS usage — no management fee
Pick based on where your DNS lives (or must live), then on rate limiting and logging. Price is close between the two, though Cloudflare’s rate limiting is much tighter on its low tiers.
Read these before choosing a plan — they affect eligibility, DNS, and total cost.
1. Cloudflare DNS
Cloudflare plans require DNS to be hosted on Cloudflare. Domains not already on Cloudflare will need a DNS cutover as part of setup.
2. Cloudflare setup fee
Cloudflare Free and Pro include a $99 one-time setup fee. That fee covers a Cloudflare Tunnel so the origin server is not exposed for direct access.
3. Management fee
Free flat-rate plans include a $20/mo management fee. Cloudflare Pro and AWS Pro are $30/mo management, with a 6-month special at $20/mo. AWS WAF pay-as-you-go has no management fee.
4. AWS Free eligibility
The free AWS tier is only available for dedicated managed hosting account plans and is limited to 3 implementations.
5. AWS flat-rate setup fee
AWS Free and Pro flat-rate plans include a $49 one-time setup fee. AWS WAF pay-as-you-go has no setup fee listed here — contact for an estimate.
