Creating an Account with CloudFlare

  1. Flux Cloud domain manager system uses CloudFlare CNAME flattening to point your WordPress URL to your own domain. To get started, you will need a CloudFlare account(it’s free).
  2. Once you create your account, you’ll be asked to ‘Add a Site’ to CloudFlare.Enter your domain name and CloudFlare will automatically pull your DNS settings from your current domain name provider to CloudFlare. Double check all DNS entries have been pulled across.
  3. After you’ve added a site, you’ll be issued name servers by CloudFlare to change over at your Domain Name Registrar.
  4. Once the settings have taken effect, it will take a couple minutes to a few hours for your custom domain name will be passed through CloudFlare’s system forwarding to your original host.

Next is to point your Flux Cloud generated WordPress site auto-domain to your own.

Pointing a Domain without WWW

If you prefer your domain without the www(ie. https://yourwebsite.com), here’s the instructions:

Replace the target URL with your WordPress installation URL that ends with app.runonflux.io

For the CNAME flattening of your domain to work properly, please make sure the proxy status is checked on.

Adding the WWW Record

If you like to add the www record to your domain, simply add another CNAME record with www, pointing to root domain.

In the Target, you can either put in @ or domain url(yourwebsite.com) for pointing www to root domain.
