Cloudflare doesn’t block pings, but IF does
Epic!
Your website gives me 1016 lma0
“Now, create a Cloudflare account and add your site to it.”
This is where I am stuck. I’m at the “2) Review your DNS records” stage - but if I put in the CNAME records as described, I get a red error bar with DNS error 1004.
Any chance of padding out the “add your site to it” bit?
This article explains the general process more in-depth:
Hello, I will show you how to easily set up Cloudflare, Edit Records, and Troubleshoot with images! PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING!!! Cloudflare cannot be used on free subdomains from InfinityFree. You can use Cloudflare on Custom Domains (yoursite.com) and with Custom Sub-Domains (subdomain.yoursite.com). A video tutorial can be found at the end of this guide, should you get stuck. You must connect your domain to your InfinityFree account first. Read more here. Set-Up Cloudflare Go to Dash…
DNS error 1004
“main domain” (CNAME) is mentioned in this topic
and I think you misinterpreted it
The “main domain” we’re talking about here is the main domain of the hosting account. That’s an internal identifier for your hosting account and it should look like asdfasdf.epizy.com
or another random 8 character subdomain.
The tutorial is old - so some locations are no longer current.
I edited it so it wouldn’t confuse someone else
the freenom page isnt loading at all? im clicking “check availability” but its not doing anything
edit: it worked after i waited 10 minutes
This tutorial is very old; Freenom doesn’t accept new registrations anymore, .ml and .ga are no longer controlled by them, and .cf and .gq are expected to follow as well, leaving only .tk that isn’t accepted on free hosting.
You can read more about that situation on the following topics:
Many of you are using free .ga domains provided by Freenom. If you are using using a .ga domain, you may notice that the domain is down right now. What happened? The reason for this is that ANINF, the National Agency for Digital Infrastructure and Frequencies of the Gabonese Republic, is reclaiming ownership of the .ga extension, and will be managed by the French registry Afnic. They also wrote that: As part of this switch-over operation, several million domain names will be deleted as the p…
Many of you are using free domains from Freenom with the .ml extension. However, most if not all sites using this domain extension are down right now. What happened? The contract between Freenom and the Malinese government that gave Freenom technical control over the domain extension and give out the domains for free, has expired on Monday July 17. The contract was not renewed, which means that the control of the .ml domain extension is returned back to the government of Mali. What this means …
So all domains who use it will get taken down soon?
Also didnt freenom get sued by Meta?
Also, if this doesnt work at all anymore, cant you add [OBSOLETE] at the start of the title?
And is there any other way to get a custom domain like this?

I think they will.

Yeah, it did.

Some moderator can do that as well, since the OP doesn’t have access or is inactive…
And is there any other way to get a custom domain like this?
To get a free domain that is also supported by Cloudflare you could make do with EU.org or PP.UA, though they’re second-level and not top-level as opposed to Freenom, but they’re still compatible with any service that requires a valid domain and not a subdomain.
cant you add [OBSOLETE] at the start of the title?
Good point. Added!
But arent those sub-domains?
These are subdomains that works like regular top level domains, as you can have custom nameservers for them.
Yes, but dont I have to abandon my already existing domain (belk.epizy.com) for the eu.org or PP.UA sub domains?
but dont I have to abandon my already existing domain
No. You can still use it
Yes but i cant use it for Cloudflare
You can’t use subdomains with cloudflare, yes.
But this doesn’t mean that you need to give it up. Just add a CNAME record to your new eu.org or pp.ua domain, pointing to your old belk.epizy.com . (Should work)
