How to connect your domain to Cloudflare

May 9, 2026 • Domains & DNS

Cloudflare can provide DNS management, performance features and security filtering. Some customers may use Cloudflare in front of their Host Luma website.

Before using Cloudflare

Make sure your website already works correctly on Host Luma.

Make sure you understand where email DNS records are managed.

Avoid enabling features you do not understand, as some settings can affect WordPress logins, caching or forms.

Step 1: Add your domain to Cloudflare

Create or log into your Cloudflare account and add your domain.

Step 2: Review imported DNS records

Cloudflare will scan existing DNS records. Check that website and email records are present before continuing.

Step 3: Update nameservers at your registrar

Cloudflare will give you two nameservers. Replace your current domain nameservers with the Cloudflare nameservers.

Step 4: Check SSL settings

Use an SSL/TLS setting that is compatible with your Host Luma website. If you are unsure, ask support before changing this.

Step 5: Test the website

After Cloudflare activates, test the homepage, login page, contact forms and key pages.

Important notes

Do not turn on aggressive caching for the WordPress admin area. Caching wp-admin or login pages can cause problems.
