With cloudflare, you're using their IPV6 -> IPv4 feature. Add an AAAA record (IPV6) for your website and it should load. You're not using your NAT IPv4.
the one i got the vps don't have ipv6. will this be useless?
Not necessarily. You can still access your website via a NAT port. For example, something.com:1800, but most people never explicitly put in the port number when they're visiting a website. You'll either have to give them a link to click on or do it some other way. Also, if your host is using a proxy of sorts (like squid) they forward the traffic for a specific domain to your NAT VM.
Ask the NAT provider to pull up a reverse proxy for you
email has port range, but i don't know the port to use. darn i thought this is simple as 123.
do i have to give them the domain name? what if i have lot of domains, kinda troublesome. i don't want to bother support with the price i payed.
You can use a third party free SMTP service such as mandrill.
Multiple websites will work fine. And yes you'll need to give them the domain name.
You have to add the AAA to the cloudflare and then setup the vhost in your vps for the domain. if you have multiple domain just enable the NameBased Hosting in your apache config. If you still have issue check the IP tables to allow the required port you are going to setup your site.
@aic
The vps doesn't have ipv6 so can't use cloudflare
Why do the ipv6 required for the cloudflare?
who is the host?
+1.
You mentioned AAA record
Ohh Ok, if the ipv6 is not available he need to point the A record to the vps IP address.
Checkout the lowendspirit forum for a tutorial with cloudflare:

@nexmark's DollarVZ, I guess.
Ah ok no reverse proxy then so using it for hosting a website is near enough pointless.
Yes, but if port 80 is not forwarded to his IP (using NAT) then it wont work.
Thanks all.
Reverse proxy been setup (or whatever it's called lol). All good now.
DollarVZ.
In the future I will be offering an automated solution to this for very very cheap (free causes abusers). Will come with basic DDoS protection and upgradeable to over 700gbit protection.
We do indeed have a reverse proxy
