Cloudflare OVH DNS | Integration Guide

by | Feb 22, 2024

The combination of OVH’s DNS services with Cloudflare’s DDoS protection and CDN is known as Cloudflare OVH DNS. As part of our Server Management Service, Bobcares provides answers to all of your questions.

What is Cloudflare OVH DNS?

Customers of OVH can set up DNS records for their domains using the OVH Control Panel thanks to the DNS control services that the company offers. Among other records that need management are A, CNAME, MX, and TXT records. In addition to DNS, Cloudflare provides web optimization, CDN, DDoS protection, and security capabilities. To improve the functionality, security, and dependability of their websites, many website owners opt to employ Cloudflare.

Users of Cloudflare may link the Cloudflare platform with their current DNS setups. Through this link, Cloudflare will take over the maintenance of the records from the present provider. After combining, customers use Cloudflare’s dashboard rather than OVH’s control panel to manage their DNS records.

How to Set it up?

The process involves the following steps:

1. After creating an account, add the domain to Cloudflare.

2. Change the nameservers for the domain to point to Cloudflare’s nameservers under the OVH account. Typically, we may obtain this in the OVH account’s domain handling section.

3. After the nameserver distribution, go into the dashboard and adjust the DNS. Any DNS records that are currently in place from the OVH account may need to be recreated in Cloudflare.

4. To improve the speed and security of the website, make use of Cloudflare’s features, including SSL/TLS settings, performance improvements, and security adjustments.

Benefits

Users can benefit from Cloudflare’s large global server network, CDN caching, SSL/TLS encryption, DDoS protection, and web optimization by integrating OVH DNS with Cloudflare. Better protection against cyberattacks, quicker page loads, and increased dependability and performance can all come from this.
