Using a Domain Registered at Cloudflare

To connect your domain, your website must be published and active. If it’s unpublished, go to your site, click ‘Go Live,’ and subscribe.

First, log into your Cloudflare dashboard account using this link: Log in here

Once you're logged in, you will need to add a CNAME record and an A record to this domain. Select the domain you purchased from Cloudflare, and then follow the steps below to add your A record:

1. Navigate to the “DNS” section in the Cloudflare dashboard.

2. Click "Add record"

3. Choose your record "Type" - in this case, select "A" as your type.

4. Put @ in the Name field, and 109.105.219.109 in the "IPv4 address" field. Leave all other fields to their default settings and click "Save"

At this point you should have a new "A" record listed for your domain. If you don't, or if you run into any problems, please take a screenshot of the previous step and send it to us so we can make sure our instructions are accurate.

Next, add your CNAME record:

5. Click "Add record" again

6. Select "CNAME" as your record type

7. Put www in the Name field, and custom.zarlasites.com in the "Domain Name" field. Leave all other fields to their default settings and click "Save"

A new CNAME record should now exist for your domain. Please let us know when you've completed this step - we'll verify that everything is correct before routing your website to your domain.
