Hi
Hoping someone can help me. I’m a complete newbie and technophobe so please go easy on me.
I have a domain banksyforum that is currently hosted at 123reg. I want to use cloudfare to get it to forward to the forum and use the www.banksforum.com website address.
The instructions on the forum website do thishttps://banksyforum.freeforums.net/admin/upgrades/domains
I cannot get the CNNAME on Cloudflare to populate with the address Banksy.com as it says it will
Can anyone tell me what I need to do at the 123reg site?
thanks
That is primarily a question or your registrar and your host. Your forum first needs to load fine on your domain and on HTTPS before you can even consider Cloudflare.
I understand they offer a paid custom domain feature
Domain Names — You can link your own domain name (such as your-name .com) to your forum for a yearly fee. Full details can be found in your forum’s admin panel under Paid Features.
You’ll need to sign up for that, make sure that it also includes a certificate, and only once all of that works you could add Cloudflare to that mix.
