    I cannot get into one of my blogs and get this message when I try – Havent signed up for CloudFlare to my knowledge?

    DNS Resolution Error

    You’ve requested a page on a website (the-cheap.net) that is on the CloudFlare network. Unfortunately, CloudFlare is currently unable to resolve your requested domain (the-cheap.net). There are two potential causes of this:

    Most likely: if the owner just signed up for CloudFlare it can take a few minutes for the website’s information to be distributed to our global network. Check back in about 5 minutes and the site should be up and running and enjoying all the benefits of CloudFlare.

    Less likely: something is wrong with this site’s configuration. Usually this happens when accounts have been signed up with a partner organization (e.g., a hosting provider) and the provider’s DNS fails.

    If you continue to experience this error, you may contact support. Please reference the following information in your message:

    http://the-cheap.net/ resolves to a wordpress.com site here for me just fine. If you just signed up for your domain name, it can take anywhere from 24-72 hours for the DNS changes to propagate throughout the internet, and how soon you will see the change is entirely dependent on how often your ISP updates their nameservers. Some do it often and some do not.
