Before integrating your domain or website with Cloudflare global network, please do ensure that the domain you are trying to add is not already tied to another Cloudflare account.
This generally happens to users that signed up to Cloudflare through a different hosting provider, then try to sign up with a different account.
You must remove the domain from the old account before adding it with the steps below:
To remove the domain from the old account:
1. Log in to the Cloudflare account that the domain was originally added to.
2. Go to Settings for the domain.
3. Go to DNS settings.
4. Remove the connection to the hosting provider using the red button.
If you are unable to do that, please contact the Cloudflare support team.
If this is a virgin integration (you do not have an existing account for the domain on the Cloudflare network), then:
1. log in to your cPanel server
2. Scroll down the Security section.
3. Follow the steps to complete the integration.
At a minimum, you should make sure CloudFlare is enabled for your domain's www CNAME record. To do this, follow these steps:
If you are a WordPress user, you don’t need to install the Cloudflare WordPress plugin if you will be using our cPanel Cloudflare plugin.
The Cloudflare WordPress plugin helps get the original IP addresses from visitors commenting on your customer’s site.
That’s done automatically in the cPanel plugin.
There is something else worth noting: the CloudFlare network only proxies web traffic on ports 80 (non-secure HTTP) and 443 (secure HTTPS).
Therefore, to prevent possible performance issues, you should not enable CloudFlare for any of the following subdomains:
