Setup Steps

Follow the instructions below to connect your custom domain and start using Crafter.

Step 1: Purchase Your Domain Name

Purchase a domain name from any registrar of your choice (e.g., Namecheap, GoDaddy, Google Domains).
Example: yourdomain.com
If you already own a domain name, you can skip this step.

Step 2: Sign In to Cloudflare

Navigate to cloudflare.com and click Log in at the top right corner.
If you do not have a Cloudflare account, click Sign up to create a free account.

Step 3: Connect Your Domain to Crafter

After signing in to Cloudflare, select Websites (or Domains) from the left sidebar and click Overview.
Ensure your domain’s nameservers are pointed to Cloudflare.
Select the domain associated with your active Crafter license.
From the left sidebar, click DNS and then Records. Click Add record and fill in the required fields:
  • Type: CNAME
  • Name (required): @ (or subdomain)
    For www redirects, configure a Page Rule / Redirect rule pointing www to @.
  • Target (required): cname.crafterdns.tech
  • Proxy status: Proxied (Orange cloud on)
  • TTL: Auto
After configuring the record, click Save.
If you have an existing conflicting A record for @, remove or update it to avoid DNS resolution errors.
Next, navigate to SSL/TLS in the left menu and select Overview.
Set the encryption mode to Full (or Flexible depending on your setup) and save your changes. Your Crafter website is now live!
