Cloudflare are one of the biggest content delivery networks and act as a reverse proxy for web services, provide DDOS protection and some cloud security functions. There's other stuff as well like free VPN services but they're probably of limited interest to you.

Your hosting provider should be able to advise you and provide assistance if necessary. If they can't, then maybe you need a new hosting service.

If you log into names.co.uk for your domain name somewhere in the control panel there should be a DNS section. There should be A records or CNAMEs for the default domain name that point to your webserver e.g. mywebsite.com and maybe the subdomain www.mywebsite.com. MX records point to email servers with maybe TXT records that either Google and/or UENI need to I.D. your domain name correctly.

Your host may have some kind of Cloudflare integration going on. You definitely don't need to pay $2,400 a year!

What you basically have is a custom domain name, and your email is hosted with G-suite.

Your MX records will be pointed @ G-suites servers

Your registrar for the custom domain is names.co.uk

Whoever Ueni are, they're hosting your site with some sort of Cloudflare integration (usually the free CDN).
