Using a subdomain on CloudFlare

[Hillside]

I have used cloudflare for my website, but it doesn't load the contents of the ones in my subdomain. What should i do? I host images on images.site.com :'( I'm only using the free version.

 

[chakravarti]

create the DNS record in cloudflare dns settings page

 

[chakravarti]

go to cloudflare dns settings

create a new CNAME record put images in the first box and put site.com in the second box and save

that's all wait for few minutes or try clearing your dns cache

I actually work for CloudFlare (won't spam the forums). You would want to do this for an images subdomain specifically:

1. Go to settings->DNS settings
2. Enter in the type of record (CNAME) at the bottom, then have the record read like this:

CNAME images is an aliasofyourdomain.com

Ya I started this a few weeks back but never finished it. It was a lot of work to set-up to try and test out when your unsure of how useful it will be. The whole website while simple in layout has loads of info about how to transfer DSN etc but no simple page with idiot information of how much this will improve your site. For example look at the help page and consider someone who's never used cloud before. https://www.cloudflare.com/help.html It sorta jumps the gun and gives loads of articles with skipping the introduction article. I'll complete the last step now though and give it a try and get back to you though.

EDIT: website is actually a lot easier to use now. It must have being months ago not weeks ago I tried it last.
