← Help CenterHow to Connect Your Cloudflare Domain
What You'll Need
- Access to your Cloudflare account
- Your website address (we'll provide this — it looks like
yoursite.treehaus.site) - About 5 minutes
First: Send Us Your Domain Name
Before you change any DNS settings, send us your domain name (e.g. yourdomain.com) so we can add it on our side first. We need to configure it in our system before your DNS changes will take effect.
Once we confirm it's ready, follow the steps below.
Log Into Cloudflare
Go to dash.cloudflare.com and sign in with your Cloudflare account.
Click on your domain from the list to open its dashboard.
Go to DNS Settings
In the left sidebar, click DNS and then Records.
You'll see a table of your DNS records. This is where we'll make our changes.
Update the A Record
Find the record with Type: A and Name: @ (or your domain name). Click Edit.
Change the IPv4 address to:
If there's no existing A record, click Add record, choose A, set the name to @, the IPv4 address to 76.76.21.21, and make sure the proxy is off.
Update the CNAME Record
Find the record with Type: CNAME and Name: www. Click Edit.
Change the Target to:
If there's no existing CNAME record for www, click Add record, choose CNAME, set the name to www, the target to cname.vercel-dns.com, and turn off the proxy.
Disable Universal SSL (Optional)
Since the proxy is off, Vercel will handle SSL for your domain automatically. You don't need to change anything here in most cases.
Let Us Know
That's it on your end! Send us a quick message to confirm you've made the changes, and we'll finish connecting everything on our side.
DNS changes on Cloudflare are usually very fast — often under a minute. Your site should be live on your domain shortly after we finish the setup.
Need help?
If anything looks confusing, just send us a screenshot of your DNS page and we'll walk you through it.
