3.7. Add a domain to CloudFlare

If you don't already have a Cloudflare account, follow these steps to register and create one:

Step 1: Register an account at https://dash.cloudflare.com/login

Step 2: After logging in, select Add a domain

Enter the domain name you want to add.

• Quick scan for DNS records: Cloudflare will scan DNS records from your current domain registrar.

• Manually enter DNS record: To add records from scratch.

• Upload a DNS zone file: To upload records from a file.

Step 3: Choose the plan you want to use, then click Continue.

For this example, select the Free plan.

Cloudflare will display a list of DNS records. Here, you can add new records or edit existing ones. Once done, click Continue to activation.

Cloudflare will provide two Name Server records. Copy these two Name Servers and replace the existing Name Servers at your domain provider. If you're unsure how to update Name Servers, contact your domain provider for assistance.

Note: Once the Name Servers are pointed to Cloudflare, DNS configurations at your domain management panel will no longer be effective. All records must be created/updated within your Cloudflare account.
