How to connect your Cloudflare domain to SystemeScale
On this page, you will learn how to add DNS records to Cloudflare to connect your main domain name.
This allows you to add your complete website, such as www.domain.com, to SystemeScale and use it as a custom domain for your sales funnels and blogs. This helps strengthen your professional brand.
What you will need:
- A SystemeScale account
- A domain name purchased from Cloudflare
β οΈ
Add the domain in SystemeScale first
Please follow the first step of the How to connect your domain to SystemeScale article before completing the Cloudflare DNS setup on this page.
π
Start with the domain connection guide
Add your custom domain inside SystemeScale first, then return here to add the required Cloudflare DNS records.
Step 1: Add your domain in SystemeScale
After adding the root domain to SystemeScale, you need to check the DNS settings from your Cloudflare account.
π
Each domain has its own CNAME records
Each domain added to SystemeScale has its own CNAME records that must be integrated into the hosting site.
βΉοΈ
Example used in this guide
In this example, the domain
www.test-sio.org is being connected to SystemeScale. Your own CNAME values will be generated inside your SystemeScale account.1
Open Settings
Hover over your profile picture, then click Settings.
2
Open Custom Domains
Go to Custom Domains.
3
Add your custom domain
Add the custom domain you want to connect.
Step 2: Add the first CNAME record in Cloudflare
The first CNAME connects the www version of your domain to the CloudFront target provided by SystemeScale.
1
Open DNS records
In Cloudflare, go to DNS, then click the Records tab for your domain.
2
Add a new record
Click Add record.
3
Select the CNAME type
Select CNAME as the record type.
4
Enter the Name value
Enter
www in the Name field.5
Enter the Target value
Add
d16w104eonopib.cloudfront.net. in the Target field.6
Set Proxy status
Set the Proxy status to DNS only.
7
Save the record
Click Save to save the record.
π
If the www CNAME already exists
If a CNAME record with the name
www already exists, edit its value to d16w104eonopib.cloudfront.net.Step 3: Add the second CNAME record in Cloudflare
The second CNAME is used for domain validation. Follow the same process to add a new CNAME record.
1
Add another CNAME record
Click Add record, then select CNAME.
2
Enter the validation Name value
In the Name field, copy and paste the string before your domain name. In this example, use
_1ab7a1f65caf2afc0bb1cb4f3b47dcda.3
Enter the validation Target value
In the Target field, add
_dcc49c5ca8ece35ae6a9a4492bc6ae92.xlfgrmvvlj.acm-validations.aws.4
Set Proxy status to DNS only
Select DNS only in the proxy status.
5
Save the validation record
Click Save to save the record.
β οΈ
Use your own generated records
The CNAME values above are examples. Copy the exact records shown in your own SystemeScale account for the domain you are connecting.
Step 4: Check your CNAME records
Once the two CNAME records are correctly added to your host, you can check their status using DNS Checker.
1
Open DNS Checker
Go to dnschecker.org.
2
Search the full CNAME name
Enter the full CNAME name, including your domain name, into the search bar.
3
Confirm the result
You should see the same value you added next to a green checkmark.
β οΈ
Review your DNS zone if checks are not green
If the records do not show the expected values with green checkmarks, the records have not been added correctly and you need to review your DNS zone.
Step 5: Add a root domain redirect record
To redirect your root domain, such as domain.com, to the www version, such as www.domain.com, create a CNAME record from the root to the same destination used for the first CNAME record.
1
Select CNAME
In Cloudflare DNS records, select CNAME as the record type.
2
Enter @ as the Name
Add
@ in the Name field.3
Use the first CNAME target
Add
d16w104eonopib.cloudfront.net. in the Target field.4
Set DNS only
Select DNS only in the proxy status.
5
Save the redirect record
Click Save to add the redirection.
π
Use the same target as your www record
The root record should point to the same destination used for the first CNAME record generated for your domain integration.
Important notes
β³
DNS propagation can take time
It can take up to 24β48 hours for DNS records to propagate completely.
β οΈ
Resolve DNS conflicts with Cloudflare support
Sometimes, your host may not be able to register a CNAME record because of a conflict with other existing DNS records. This usually happens when adding the first CNAME. If a conflict occurs, contact your domain host to determine whether the existing records are necessary or can be safely removed.
