Why is cloudflare required? #31

I'm not quite sure why cloudfare is a requirement for this project to work

It uses the DNS records to verify ownership of a domain which is needed before an SSL certificate can be issued. At the moment, the only DNS provider it supports is CloudFlare. There's no reason why this couldn't be a different DNS provider but there isn't support for it yet.
