Cloudflare for domains?

I've been registering domains on Namecheap. I've seen that Cloudflare allows you to buy domains, and move your domains over there as well. Is it better security wise to move all domains over to Cloudflare?

    Inwould a 100% recommend cloudflare.. i have moved and bought domains at cloudflare. They are experts at internet and web security.

      Switching for the security alone would be a smart move. The price is just a bonus.

        My thoughts the same. They have some apps which directly affect your apps domain and it works really well if you are hosting something on cloudflare. Last week i got access to the beta email routing feature. I am super happy.

    I have some domains with Cloudflare, but not all.

    Cloudflare general price is the cheapest, but they never do promotions like some old registrars, Namecheap/Namesilo/Godaddy always have something like $0.99/year so I usually grab some deals when they have it.

    You may register at Namecheap and add your domains to Cloudflare. Create a Cloudflare account, add your domains and change the DNS at Namecheap.

      Yep I've done this. Just wondering if it's still worth it to keep domain registration separate from DNS management. It sounds like from the other replies that people trust cloudflare enough.

        You can have all the benefits of cloudflare and still use namecheap.
        As a domainer (I have over 180 domains) i user namecheap and godaddy for domains and add all the sites I manage under cloudflare. 100% if you build a site. It save me from big DDoS attack . But as a domainer namecheap is far better for domain management. Its up you and your needs.

    I bought a domain from them the other day. $8.57 a year.

    They include icann domain privacy at no extra cost.
