## Using Cloudflare's Services

Cloudflare launched in 2010 believing everyone deserves a secure, fast, reliable web presence. We did not think you should have to pay more when you came under cyber attack, so we offered free and fixed-rate pricing for websites. That worked because most websites don’t consume much bandwidth, and so we could provide our services in an affordable way to everyone.From the beginning, we prohibited streaming video content using our bandwidth. While you could embed a video from another provider, we limited your ability to use our services to deliver video bits from our network to your visitors. This is because every second of a typical video requires as much bandwidth as loading a full web page.

Over time we recognized that some of our customers wanted to stream video using our network. To accommodate them, we developed our [Stream](https://www.cloudflare.com/products/cloudflare-stream/) product. Stream delivers great performance at an affordable rate charged based on how much load you place on our network.
