🇺🇸Connecting a domain to a web server

Connecting a domain to a web server (online map, website, etc.)

To connect a domain to a web server, you need to:

1. Link your domain to CloudFlare, to do this:

• Go to https://dash.cloudflare.com

• Register and confirm your email

• Click Add Domain, enter your domain name, select a free plan and set up the specified DNS in your registrar

• Wait a few hours (on average up to 3) until the DNS updates. After that, a message about the activation of the domain in Cloudflare will be sent to your email

1. Go to the DNS tab in Cloudflare

2. Create a DNS record:

• Type: CNAME or A

• Name: domain, if you want to create a record on the root of the domain use @

• Target: your node address, for example node.domain.com

• Proxy: leave it on

1. Go to the tab Rules -> Origin Rules

2. Click Create rule:

• Enter any name

• Field: Hostname

• Operator: Equals

• Value: your domain name, for example domain.com

• Select Rewrite to and specify the port of your web server (online map, site)

1. Click Deploy 🎉 Done! You have connected the domain to the web server.
