Cloudflare is among the best DNS management platform out there. It brings a load of features anyone could benefit from, and better, some features are completely free of charge eg proxy, cache and CDN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connecting your domain to Cloudflare is also not difficult. This guide will show us how to<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.Login<\/a> to Cloudflare or Sign Up<\/a> if you do not have an account<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.Click Add a Website<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.Type in your website and click Add site<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

3.Select Free Plan<\/strong> and click Continue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

4.Cloudflare will now Scan<\/strong> for your DNS record. If your domain had DNS records, these will be copied to Cloudflare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.Once the scanning finishes, a list of your current DNS records will be displayed there. Click Continue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

6.Cloudflare will give you two nameservers<\/strong> which you are supposed to change at your domain registrar. If you registered your domain with Truehost, please use this guide to update your nameservers<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once updated, click Done<\/strong>, check nameservers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

7.On the next page, click Finish Later <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Thats it! You now need to allow some hours for your domain to propagate and start using Cloudflare. Cloudflare will send you an email as soon as this happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can then start enjoying the benefits of Cloudflare. The Cloudflare dashboard provides more features which you can check. However, a good number of features are made available without needing any set up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
