If you don't already have our ASP.NET / .NET Core Freehosting, sign up for FREE at https://MonsterASP.net/.

1. Sign up and Add Your Website to Cloudflare

  • Go to https://cloudflare.com

2. Scan DNS and Update Nameservers

  • Confirm that all your existing records (A, CNAME, MX, etc.) are correct.
  • Cloudflare will provide two nameservers (e.g., abby.ns.cloudflare.com, ivan.ns.cloudflare.com).

3. Update your nameservers to activate Cloudflare

  • Go to your domain registrar (where you bought your domain) and update the nameservers to Cloudflare’s. This change may take up to 24 hours but usually happens faster.
