Cloudflare: how to set-up (DNS and name servers) -
first thought topic better suited server fault, after reading faq think otherwise.
so, set cloudflare domain (i want use free cdn), documentation of cloudflare hardly sufficient beginner myself. lack of clarity worse in case, because domain , webspace hosted @ different companies.
when put domain in cloudflare website, checks website , tells change name servers 2 servers of theirs. problem 1:
- should change name servers of domain host, or name servers of webspace host? (the latter didn't seem possible, suppose answer former.)
after that, cloudflare gives list of different domains/subdomains of website , dns server and/or ip linked it. but:
- when go control panel of domain host, of these subdomains there - other ip addresses. shouldn't same? should change host's ip addresses ones cloudflare presents?
- should add subdomains can find on subdomain's host cloudflare?
- is possible not have change settings on webspace hosting?
please not close "what have tried". have tried lot of things, subsequent crashes. different employers of host tell me different things, , cloudflare hasn't answered ticket yet. thought, since there tag "cloudflare", of have experience it.
note admin: maybe tag "nameserver" , tag "nameservers" should merged.
the lack of clarity worse in case, because domain , webspace hosted @ different companies.
the change needs happen @ registrar.
when go control panel of domain host, of these subdomains there - other ip addresses. shouldn't same? should change host's ip addresses ones cloudflare presents?
this picked when picked records registrar. if actual hosting ip different, should edit subdomains correct ones on cloudflare dns settings age.
should add subdomains can find on subdomain's host cloudflare?
yes, if weren't picked during signup process. pick common subdomains (blog, mail, forums, etc.) during signup process, miss things if dogs.yoursite.com, etc. (not common records).
is possible not have change settings on webspace hosting?
you not.
should change name servers of domain host, or name servers of webspace host? (the latter didn't seem possible, suppose answer former.)
you change nameservers on file @ registrar ours.
