Introducing per hostname TLS settings — security fit to your needs

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has introduced per-hostname TLS settings for customers, allowing them to set up individual subdomains with specific security configurations based on their needs. This includes setting minimum TLS versions and supported cipher suites. While modern protocols offer better security and performance, legacy clients and devices may not support these new standards, creating a trade-off between security and accessibility. By offering per-hostname settings, Cloudflare enables businesses to maintain optimal protection for sensitive data while keeping marketing websites and blogs accessible to all users with older devices. The feature is available starting August 9, 2023, through the API endpoint.
