How to Connect Your Domain to CloudyShaper

< 1 min read

Currently, we do not provide DNS servers. You can use either your domain registrar’s default DNS or Cloudflare’s free DNS.

1. Using Your Domain Registrar’s DNS

  1. Log in to your domain registrar account.
  2. Set the default registrar name servers.
  3. In your registrar’s DNS settings, add the following records provided in your CloudyShaper dashboard:
    • Two “A” records
    • One CNAME record
  4. That’s it! Your domain will now point to our cloud server.

2. Using Cloudflare DNS

  1. Sign up for a free Cloudflare account (or log in).
  2. Add your domain to Cloudflare and switch to the Cloudflare name servers.
  3. Once your site is active in Cloudflare, go to the DNS settings.
  4. Add the following records provided in your CloudyShaper dashboard:
    • Two “A” records
    • One CNAME record
  5. Your domain will now be connected to CloudyShaper.
  6. You may consider disabling the proxy/orange cloud option for their site’s DNS A records and CNAME(s). Note that certain Cloudflare features may rely on their proxy service; however, it’s often recommended to disable it.The proxy can be disabled while adding or editing a DNS record at Cloudflare.
