About cPanel Cloudflare Integration

Cloudflare helps boost our websites and protect them from malicious visitors as well as bots. Furthermore, it enhances page load times by caching the website content to their globally distributed network of servers.

This goes a long way in experiencing the site visitor experience as well.

We can enable the Cloudflare plugin in cPanel to take advantage of the many benefits it offers as seen below:

1. First, we have to log in to cPanel. Remember to login via the domain name for which we want to enable Cloudflare.
2. Then, we must configure and enable Cloudflare according to our needs. We can configure it via one of the following options:
   • CNAME Setup

     Here, the domain name will point to our authoritative DNS, and only subdomains point toward Cloudflare. According to our experts, this configuration works only with CNAME records. Hence, if we want to use A records we have to configure Cloudflare via Full DNS setup.
   • Full DNS Setup

     Here, we have to update our domain’s current name servers to Cloudflare’s name servers. This ensures that Cloudflare’s name servers are the authoritative DNS for our domain name. In other words, the Full DNS Setup routes the traffic for our entire website via Cloudflare resulting in faster load times of our website.

Once Cloudflare is enabled on cPanel, we can verify if it is working by visiting our website and ensuring the Cloudflare CDN is serving our content.
