Cloudflare

Use Cloudflare as the DNS provider for your Stackryze Domain. This is the recommended setup for most users.

​

Why Cloudflare?

• Free — no cost for DNS hosting.
• Fast global network — 300+ data centers.
• DDoS protection — built-in.
• Free SSL — automatic HTTPS for your subdomain.
• Easy to use — clean dashboard.
• API access — automate DNS management.

​

Prerequisites

Before you begin:

• ✅ A registered Stackryze Domain on domain.stackryze.com.
• ✅ A free Cloudflare account — sign up here.

​

Step 1 — Add your subdomain to Cloudflare

1. Sign in to the Cloudflare dashboard.
2. Click Add a Site.

3. Enter your full subdomain, for example yourname.indevs.in (or whichever of the four Stackryze namespaces — indevs.in, sryze.cc, ryzedns.org, nx.kg — you registered under).
4. Click Continue.

​

Step 2 — Select the Free plan

1. Select Free.
2. Click Continue.

​

Step 3 — Copy your Cloudflare nameservers

Cloudflare assigns unique nameservers to your site:

1. Find the nameserver information on screen.
2. You’ll see something like:
   ava.ns.cloudflare.com
   curt.ns.cloudflare.com
   
3. Copy both nameservers — you’ll need them in the next step.

To find them later: go to DNS → Records, then look at the Cloudflare Nameservers section. Or check the Overview tab.

​

Step 4 — Update nameservers in Stackryze Domains

1. Open domain.stackryze.com.
2. Go to My Domains.
3. Click your domain.
4. In DNS Configuration, click Edit.
5. Replace the nameservers with your Cloudflare ones:
   • Primary: ava.ns.cloudflare.com
   • Secondary: curt.ns.cloudflare.com
6. Click Save.

​

Step 5 — Verify the connection

1. Return to your Cloudflare dashboard Overview page.
2. Click Check nameservers now to start a check.

3. Cloudflare verifies your nameservers. This usually takes a few minutes, but can take up to 24 hours.
4. Cloudflare emails you when your site is active.
5. On success, you see a confirmation message:

​

Step 6 — Configure DNS records

Now add your DNS records in Cloudflare:

1. Go to DNS → Records.

2. Click Add record.
3. Configure the record based on your needs:

Example: GitHub Pages Example: IP address Example: WWW subdomain

​

Step 7 — Enable SSL (recommended)

Once your domain is live:

1. Go to SSL/TLS.
2. Set SSL mode to Full or Full (strict).
3. Enable Always Use HTTPS.

​

Proxy status: orange vs gray cloud

• Gray cloud (DNS only) — recommended to start.
  • DNS resolution only.
  • No Cloudflare caching or protection.
  • Required for some services (email, etc.).
• Orange cloud (Proxied) — optional.
  • Traffic routes through Cloudflare.
  • DDoS protection and caching.
  • Can break some services (email, certain APIs).

​

Common issues

​

Nameservers not showing

Wait a few minutes after adding your site. Cloudflare needs to provision nameservers.

​

DNS not resolving

• Confirm nameservers are correct in the Stackryze Domains dashboard.
• Wait 5–10 minutes for DNS propagation.
• Check DNS records in Cloudflare.
• Verify with DNS Checker.

​

SSL errors

• Confirm your origin server supports HTTPS.
• Set SSL mode to Flexible if your origin doesn’t have SSL.
• Wait up to 24 hours for the certificate to provision.

​

Domain not working after setup

• Confirm nameservers in the Stackryze Domains dashboard match Cloudflare.
• Check DNS records in Cloudflare.
• Clear browser and DNS cache.
• Wait up to 48 hours for full propagation.

​

Advanced features

• Page Rules — custom caching, redirects, and more.
• Workers — serverless code at the edge.
• Analytics — traffic statistics and insights.
• API access — automate DNS management.
