How to activate and setup Cloudflare for my domain?

Cloudflare used to offer a cPanel plugin so this was set up in cPanel, but as they have added features the plugin lagged and they now want everyone to set up through their own website. In order to configure Cloudflare for a domain:

  • Go to https://cloudflare.com
  • Login to your account, or if you don't have one, setup an account.
  • Add your domain name. Cloudflare will scan your DNS records, and will typically find all of them. If it doesn't find any let us know.
  • Cloudflare will then give you new nameservers, and you edit your nameservers to point there.

If you setup any sites with them when the cPanel plugin was functional this is effectively the same process.
