Using Cloudflare with your site

Cloudflare provides services to enhance the performance, security, and functionality of websites. Supertape uses Cloudflare behind the scenes already, but sometimes it's useful for musicians to setup their own free account with them to fix specific issues they're having.

Setting up a free Cloudflare account

  1. Sign up for a Cloudflare account.

  2. Once logged in, click Add a website or application.

  3. Enter your custom domain and hit Continue.

  4. Select the free plan and Continue.

  5. If they're not already added, use Add record to create these two records:

    Type

    Name

    Target

    CNAME

    @

    cname.supertape.site

    CNAME

    www

    cname.supertape.site

  6. Make sure both records are proxied (orange cloud) and Continue.

  7. Follow their instructions to update your nameservers and Continue.

  8. On the Quickstart Guide hit Finish later (Supertape handles this).

  9. Wait for your nameservers to finish updating (Cloudflare will notify you).

  10. That's it! Your Supertape site is now running through your Cloudflare.
