I have my domain registered with Cloudflare but my web host is bluehost. I’m a bit confused how I need to set things up to properly point my CF domain at my host? My A/CNAME/ETC records got nuked when I migrated to Cloudflare so I don’t have any DNS records set up right now.
A list of what I need to change in my records would be MUCH appreciated!
There are a number of good tutorials https://community.cloudflare.com/search?q=tutorials%20%23tutorials%20order%3Alatest to assist with this. Bare minimum, I’d have:
A Record named @ with a value of your origin IP address (ask your host for that) and time to live of 0.
If you want www.example.com to resolve to your site, a CNAME record named www with a value of your domain name (example.com). Both should have an 
to the right of the record, if not, click 
to turn it .
Beyond that, there are a lot of different options for what DNS records you need, it varies based on your business needs and is hard to give a one size fits all recommendation.
Thanks @cloonan that’s very helpful.
One weird question. I’ve now updated my A record for site.com to my new host URL, and added a CNAME for www that points at site.com. But, oddly, I only reach my new host via www.site.com. If I go to site.com it still goes to the old host. Any ideas? Thanks again!
