Using Cloudflare will give them control of my DNS records!

Its been recommended I use Cloudflare to speed up my website, but now I am a little nervous to do this since that gives them control of my DNS records right?

I just chatted to my sister that is hosting my website and she doubts the slowness of my website is due to her hosting. She also said if I change my DNS settings that this will mess with my email too. So then I will have to have them create all my MX Records (whatever that means).

So my sister suggested that she just point the A record? Oh my gosh this is all way above my head isn't it?

Any suggestions or pointers here?

I had cloudfare once, and it never messed up my email accounts. Cloudflare is a great service to add as it really does help boost the speed of the website by enabling caching.

Enabling catching can be done with WordPress plugin. And Cloudflare mainly protects websites from various attacks...
