Buying a Domain and Connecting it to Cloudflare for Use with your Home Server

Ғылым және технология

This video is for beginners and anyone who wants to know how to buy a domain name then link it to Cloudflare for later use with your home server. Using cloudflare with your domain has many advantages such as easy dns editing and being able to use the cloudflare api with your reverse proxy for ssl cert creation using dns verification. This is essential for people who cant verify using http due to their isp blocking port 80.
This video will have many follow on videos which will be using a domain linked to cloudflare. Such as setting up a Mine craft server and various reverse proxies.

    Update 2022. Cloudflare is now their own domain name registrar and email routing service on top of being a DNS service provider. I highly recommend getting your domain name through Cloudflare instead. I had Google as my registrar before and switching over to Cloudflare has been much cheaper and seamless. Everything is already integrated into Cloudflare. No need to modify NS records nothing like that. It's a big plus now and this just came out early 2022.

    Hello, before I get into this I had a question. I'm coming to this because I wanted to host a domain that I want to use for nextcloud, according to your other video. My question is, I want my Plex server (hosted on the same unraid) to be up 24/7 (it keeps going down and disconnected a lot, if electricity goes down (I'll get a UPS), when the home's IP changes, if the router changes IP's). I'm basically never able to keep Plex up, I still haven't figured that out, so the question, is this domain I'm about to host going to "conflict" somehow with the Plex stuff? Or.. can I use this domain to also benefit Plex? Or are those two completely separate matters? edit: oh my god :O this IS the answer!

    thanks:D Actually I think cloudflare is a great thing for home server. Anyhow Iam new in that scene and have some trobules.. I would be very thankful for a complete CloudFlare Home Server solution. That means that no-static-IP will get updated through Cloudflare and not Duckdns. Also all subdomains will be setup in cloudflare. If possible then subdomains should be proxied. And Iam sure there are many things more which can be done with Cloudflare :D Right now my setup works, but my WAN IP is "leaked"
