Hey guys, i am thinking of using Cloudfare (CDN) with a shared hosting pkacage that offering on the forum. Does shared hosting work well with the speed of CDNs and a CDN can handle hosting problems as botnet, cpu/ram usage..etc?

Thanks

Yes, you can use a CDN with any kind of hosting plan.

Not necessarily. If your CDN offers the ability to add WAF or firewall rules, then you may be able to block some bots. Incapsula offers this on some of their plans.
A CDN does not affect your CPU/RAM usage directly. However, by serving resources from the CDN instead of your server, it will lower your CPU/RAM usage as not all requests are being served from your server.

CDN is a good option for shared hosting plans, as shared hosting plans are slower than VPS/Dedicated Servers and you can save your hosting resources by enabling CDN!

Shared hosting + CDN is way far from what you call VPS. In a VPS you have abundance of resource compared to a shared hosting package. Even a 1 GB RAM VPS works way above the standards of a shared hosting package. A CDN however will add bits and pieces of cloud hosting to your account.

I disagree completely.

A) Not all VPS's are the same. Not all shared hosting accounts are the same. A OpenVZ VPS with 2GB ram, at a provider that oversells their resources will give you far worse performance compared to a business class shared hosting account at a quality provider. The shared account will be easier to manage and probably cheaper too!

B) A good shared hosting provider theses days should be allowing ~1Gb of ram usage on shared hosting. This is RAM the account is allowed to use. On a 1Gb ram VPS, that ram is also used to run the OS, web server, control panel, etc. Leaving you with even less ram available to your sites.

There are extremities. Obviously, we can do nothing if host over sells an account. I was just saying that adding a CDN would not give the isolation that a VPS provides.
