Configure Cloudflare Domain with Netlify hosted app

Juri Strumpflohner
In Netlify:
- Go to your Netlify dashboard and select your site
- Navigate to Site settings → Domain management
- Click Add custom domain
- Enter your custom domain and click Verify
- Netlify will show you the DNS records you need to configure
In Cloudflare:
- Log into your Cloudflare dashboard
- Select your domain
- Go to the DNS tab
- Add these DNS records:
For apex domain:
- Type:
A - Name:
@ - Content:
75.2.60.5(Netlify’s load balancer IP) - Proxy status: Can be either proxied (orange cloud) or DNS only (gray cloud)
For www subdomain:
- Type:
CNAME - Name:
www - Content:
your-site-name.netlify.app - Proxy status: DNS only (gray cloud) initially
Back in Netlify:
- Once DNS propagates (usually a few minutes to an hour), Netlify should automatically provision an SSL certificate
- Enable Force HTTPS in the domain settings
- Optionally set up redirects between www and non-www versions in Site settings → Domain management
The site should be accessible at your custom domain within a few hours once DNS propagation completes.
