Are you looking to set up your Namecheap domain in Cloudflare but feeling a bit overwhelmed by the process? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! In this guide, I’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of setting up your Namecheap domain’s DNS in Cloudflare. By the end of this article, you’ll be all set up and ready to take advantage of Cloudflare’s powerful features to enhance the performance and security of your website.
Before we dive into the setup process, let’s quickly go over why you might want to use Cloudflare with your Namecheap domain. Cloudflare is a popular content delivery network (CDN) and security platform that can help improve your website’s performance, security, and reliability. By integrating Cloudflare with your Namecheap domain, you can take advantage of features like DDoS protection, caching, SSL encryption, and more.
Now, let’s get started with setting up your Namecheap domain in Cloudflare:
Step 1: Sign up for a Cloudflare account
The first step is to sign up for a Cloudflare account if you don’t already have one. Simply visit the Cloudflare website and click on the “Sign Up” button. Follow the on-screen instructions to create your account.
Step 2: Add your website to Cloudflare
Once you’ve created your Cloudflare account, you’ll need to add your website to the platform. To do this, enter your website’s domain name in the provided field and click on the “Add Site” button. Cloudflare will then scan your domain’s DNS records.
Step 3: Verify your DNS records
After Cloudflare has scanned your DNS records, you’ll need to verify that all the records are correct. Make sure that Cloudflare has detected all the necessary DNS records for your domain. If everything looks good, click on the “Continue” button.
Step 4: Change your nameservers in Namecheap
Now it’s time to update your domain’s nameservers in Namecheap to point to Cloudflare. Log in to your Namecheap account, navigate to the domain management section, and locate the nameserver settings. Change the nameservers to the ones provided by Cloudflare.
Step 5: Wait for the nameserver update to propagate
After updating the nameservers in Namecheap, you’ll need to wait for the changes to propagate across the internet. This process can take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours, so be patient.
