How To Migrate Your Domain Hostnames To Cloudflare

Purpose of Domain Migration

    • All domain connections migrated to Cloudflare for benefits like speed upgrades, security shields, smart caching, prevention of DDOS attacks, SSL certificate generation, etc.
    • This was a change that was made on the FG Funnels side only.

    • A and CNAME records changed during migration and need to be updated on your domain to take advantage of these benefits.


  1. Preparation Before Clicking Migrate Domain Button

    • Log in to where DNS records are managed.


  2. Executing Migration
    • Click on "Migrate Domain" button from Settings -> Domains.
    • Depending on where your records are managed, you may have the option to add records manually or use the Domain Connect feature which will add the records for you.
    • If you are using the Domain Connect feature, proceed through the steps of the wizard.
      • Verify records that will be added.
      • Authorize the new records to replace the old ones.
      • Confirm authorization and resolve any conflicts.
    • If you need to manually change the records, follow the records given to change your A record and www CNAME record in your DNS manager and save.
      • The new A record is now 162.159.140.166,  and the CNAME record is now sites.ludicrous.cloud.

      • Click Verify Records and wait for the changes to be reflected.


  3. Post-Migration Steps
    • Migration process completes after authorizing the changes.
    • Note: For domains with WWW setup within FG Funnels, both A and CNAME records will be replaced automatically.

    • For manual addition of CNAME record, access DNS records, add CNAME record for WWW, and save changes.
