Cloudflare is a popular service that can help to improve the security and performance of your website. Here’s how to use Cloudflare to connect your domain name to your hosting provider:
Sign up for a Cloudflare account:
To use Cloudflare, you will need to sign up for an account on their website. This is a simple process that only requires your email address and a password.
Add your domain name:
After signing up, you will need to add your domain name to your Cloudflare account. This involves entering your domain name and selecting the hosting provider that you are using.
Update your nameservers:
Once your domain name has been added to Cloudflare, you will need to update your nameservers to point to Cloudflare. Your hosting provider should have instructions on how to do this.
Wait for the DNS records to propagate:
It can take some time for the DNS records to propagate, which means that it may take a while for the changes to take effect. During this time, your website may not be accessible.
Configure your Cloudflare settings:
Once your domain name is connected to Cloudflare, you can configure the settings to improve the security and performance of your website. This may involve enabling features like SSL, caching, and firewall protection.
