Resource Suspension

Using Cloudflare with our hosting is pretty straight forward, and basically no different from using Cloudflare with any other hosting provider.

Just remember that the domain name must be setup on the target hosting server to work.

Just pointing your domain name to our servers won’t work, because our servers have no idea what website should be shown on the domain.

And no, using a CNAME record doesn’t help, a CNAME record is a DNS level alias, it means that Cloudflare sends the traffic to the same IP address of your subdomain without needing you to setup the IP address in Cloudflare directly. But that information is not conveyed to the backend server, so it has no effect on how your website is being served.
