Moving website to someone else's subdomain

[sarah5]

I have just moved my website to a subdomain of someone else’s site. My domain is still registered with my original ISP and I still run my email through them

I think what I need to to is keep my site record in Cloudflare, but delete those DNS entries that relate to the website/ ftp, while keeping those which relate to email. Is that right?

Also,if I wanted to also create a redirect from my original mydomain.co.uk to mydomain.newdomain.com do I need to do anything in Cloudflare or would I just do this from my original ISP?

Welcome back to the Cloudflare Community.

In addition to email related, you will need to keep any names that you want to redirect. You can replace them with AAAA records set to 100:: and make them proxied.

You can then create redirect rules to suit your desired outcome.

Redirect Rules Cheat Sheet

Cloudflare Page Rules will soon be deprecated, as they are being replaced by a group of new Cloudflare Rules. Redirect Rules (beta) helps you make all kinds of dynamic or static redirects. Examples of some of the most requested Redirect Rules: 1 - Canonical redirect (naked domain to www.)

Thank you. I think I am nearly there. I am using rule 3, because I want to keep any suffixes to make sure that I don’t just redirect all to the (new) homepage. It hasn’t worked yet - still getting redirected to homepage, but I’m guessing a rule may take a while to deploy.

Example three looks like a suitable fit for your described use. As long as the hostname is proxied, rules take effect almost immediately.

Thank you so much for your help. Everything up and running now, as required, just a minor recaptcha configuration to do now!!!
