GoDaddy is integrating Cloudflare’s AI Crawl Control into its web hosting and domain platform. This partnership enables small businesses and creators to manage how automated AI bots access and use their website content.
The integration addresses unauthorized AI model training that strains servers and devalues original content. Site owners can now use the tool to identify, block, or permit specific AI crawlers.
The move establishes a potential pathway for publishers to monetize their work by charging AI companies for data access. This initiative aims to rebalance the digital business model for the AI era.
