<\/span>Using Cloudflare with Your Domain<\/span><\/h3>\nIf your domain uses Cloudflare for DNS or proxy services, note that Cloudflare normally requires you to use the nameservers it assigns to your domain. In that setup, you do not point the domain directly to telaHosting nameservers. Instead, you keep Cloudflare\u2019s nameservers active and then update the DNS records inside Cloudflare to point to your telaHosting hosting account.<\/p>\n
If you want to stop using Cloudflare DNS entirely, you would update the domain at your registrar and replace the Cloudflare nameservers with your hosting provider\u2019s nameservers.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Scenario: Your Domain Is with One Provider and Your Hosting Is with Another<\/span><\/h2>\nThis is a very common setup.<\/p>\n
For example, you may register a domain at Namecheap but buy your hosting from telaHosting. In that case, your domain remains at Namecheap, but you update the nameservers there so the domain points to telaHosting.<\/p>\n
Here is how it works:<\/p>\n
\n- Get the correct nameservers from telaHosting.<\/li>\n
- Log in to the registrar where your domain is registered.<\/li>\n
- Locate the nameserver settings.<\/li>\n
- Replace the old nameservers with the telaHosting nameservers.<\/li>\n
- Save and wait for DNS propagation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Once propagation is complete, your domain will begin using the new hosting environment.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Alternative Method: Pointing a Domain with A Records Instead of Changing Nameservers<\/span><\/h2>\nIn some situations, you may prefer not to change nameservers at all. Instead, you can edit the A record<\/strong> to point the domain to your hosting server\u2019s IP address.<\/p>\nThis method is useful if you want to keep DNS management with your current provider but still point your website to another host.<\/p>\n
