Purchase Domain

Our preference is to purchase domains via Cloudflare though they do not have all TLDs. If the domain cannot be registered via Cloudflare you will need to purchase it via another provider, such as Namecheap.

If you purchase a domain through a different provider you will need to set up the site in Cloudflare follow that providers steps for changing your Nameservers to Cloudflare. I would recommend looking at the registrars documentation for changing the Nameservers to Cloudflare, as Cloudflare's documentation may be outdated.
