If you are not comfortable working with DNS files and settings, Cloudflare mostly can do this for you, but 1 out of 100 times (my experience over last 12 years) a person that knows what to look for needs to reality check things.
This guide is to help business owners start the process of creating a Cloudflare account (that they control) then inviting a tech person as a user in to help proceed with the setup.
Password Tips – I recommend using a VERY trusted gmail account, not an email for the domain that will be registered here at cloudflare.
USE THE STRONGEST PASSWORDS POSSIBLE 30 CHARACTERS IS HELPFUL. IF YOU CAN REMEMBER IT, THAT’S BAD. IF YOU HAVE THE SAME PASSWORD ANYWHERE ELSE, THAT’S TERRIBLE.
Steps to get started setting up a Cloudflare account
Starting with a free account with the potential goals of
- Protecting your domain from botnets and attacks from around the wrold
- Transferring (ultimately but not in these steps) your domain name from a lesser registrar to a trusted one.
