Set up is easy! Let’s setup shall we?

You will need access to your DNS settings from your domain name Registrar, Cpanel access from your hosting provider, and a free account with Cloudflare.

If your domain registrar and your hosting provider is the same.

1. Create a free account with Cloudflare
2. Change domain registrar DNS to Cloudflare’s DNS

If you domain registrar and hosting Provider are different.

1. Create a free account with Cloudflare
2. Change domain registrar DNS to Cloudflare’s DNS
3. DO NOT Touch or Change anything in hosting providers DNS
4. If you do not see any change then just Wait for a couple of days.

My Motto:

Domain from Freenom, Hosting from Godaddy, DNS from Cloudflare = Cheapest Domain, Best Hosting, Safest DNS
