How To Migrate Your Domain Hostnames To Cloudflare

If you have a domain that has been connected to your account prior to 3/21/24, you may see a "Migration Recommended" alert next your domain under Settings > Domains. This video explains what the migration process is and how to migrate your domain hostnames to Cloudflare.


The initial interface in domains has changed and instead of Migrate now, you will see a yellow banner on the main domain page that says "Some of your following domains require improvement in speed and security." Click Manage from this point on a specific domain and you will see "Improve security and speed of this domain". Clicking Fix Now will bring you to the same point.

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 "Fix Now" next to "Some of your following domains require improvement in speed and security."
    • From the list of domains to be fixed, click the blue Fix Now text next to the domain name.
    • 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.
