Within minutes, my site was being served from the new site
The beauty of Cloudflare fronting a site is your public IP address won’t change, nor does the SSL certificate. Visitors won’t notice any difference.
The only caveat is any database changes during the transfer. If you have a maintenance mode on your site, you may choose to do that. For my most database intensive site, I had a six minute pause in service as I made the switch.
@ sdayman…i’m changing the hosting from inmotion to hostgator. but i need one help from your end…i’ve already change the server ip on Cloudflare. but i’m confusing one thing, on IP section i did change my current server ip but one place where local ip is mentioned, so at that location what should i do that…details https://snag.gy/yXBkWp.jpg
A related question. I’m very puzzled.
I’ve just moved hosting provider form 123-reg to a2hosting and after the migration my website looks like it did around 6 months ago BEFORE I set up Cloudflare SSL.
My domain name stayed at 123 reg and nameservers are pointing to CF.
I tried what you suggested (changed the IP to the new host) didn’t help.
The only time the website looks like it should is when I go back to the original set up: I point the Nameservers to CF and the IP back to 123-reg.
I talked to support at both hosts and they have no clue what’s going on.
Is it possible that Cloudflare is hosting all the files since I started using CF SSL?
If so, how do I access these files and migrate to the new host?
or maybe CF created another folder on my server which I need to migrate too?
I might be totally missing the point and there might be an easy solution but I’ve research for a week now and I’m totally stuck and my website is practically useless.
