CNAME Configure and change of Web Host

#1

Hi. We have moved a site form one server to another. So the IP address has changed. Because the site is for a government organisation we have to use CNAME to configure the DNS.

How do I change the IP address in Cloudflare to point to the new IP address. Then how do I get the IP address the CNAME should be point to at CloudFlare.

Thanks

Cloudflare DNS should match whatever your web host has for DNS records.

If you need to use CNAMEs instead of IP address, you will have to delete the IP address entries and use CNAME entries instead.
