Cloudflare is the fastest way to connect a domain. You authorize Cloudflare once, and LanderLab creates and maintains the DNS records for you. It also works with root domains, which Manual DNS often cannot.

Before you start

  • You are an admin in LanderLab.
  • You have a Cloudflare account, or you are ready to create a free one.
  • The domain is in that Cloudflare account, or you are willing to move its DNS there.

Connect the account

After you enter your domain and click Continue, choose Cloudflare. LanderLab tells you what it found and asks you to sign in to the Cloudflare account that owns the domain.
The Add New Domain dialog with Cloudflare selected and the Connect Cloudflare button
1

Click Connect Cloudflare

You are sent to Cloudflare to sign in and approve access. No Global API Key is needed.
2

Pick the account

Once authorized, the account is available in LanderLab and stays available for future domains. If you connect more than one account, select the one that holds the domain.
3

Click Add Domain

LanderLab creates the DNS records in that Cloudflare account.

If the domain is already in Cloudflare

Nothing else to do. Because DNS already points to Cloudflare, no registrar changes are needed and the domain moves to Active shortly after you add it.

If the domain is managed somewhere else

LanderLab creates the zone in Cloudflare and shows a Domain Nameservers window with two nameservers.
1

Copy the nameservers

Use the Copy button next to each one. These values are unique to your Cloudflare account, so always use the exact ones shown.
2

Update them at your registrar

Sign in to the registrar where you bought the domain, open its DNS or Nameserver settings, replace the existing nameservers with the two you copied, and save.
3

Wait for activation

The domain stays Pending until the change propagates, then switches to Active. This usually takes a few minutes, but can take up to 48 hours.
Closed the nameserver window? Open Settings > Domains and click the Pending label on the domain to show it again.
