This step-by-step guide will walk you through how to:
Create a free Cloudflare account
Purchase a domain via Cloudflare Registrar
Set up DNS records to connect your custom domain with OFMPro
Step 1 – Create a Cloudflare Account
Visit https://dash.cloudflare.com/sign-up
Create your free account, and don’t forget to confirm your email by clicking the link sent to your inbox.
Step 2 – Buy a Domain Name Through Cloudflare
Once you’re logged in:
Click "Domain Registration" in the left-hand menu
Hit "Register Domains"
Search for and purchase your preferred domain
🔒 It’s your domain — OFM Pro takes no commission or control over it.
Step 3 – Return to Your Cloudflare Dashboard
After purchasing, head back to your Cloudflare Account Home to begin setup.
Step 4 – Add Your Domain to OFM Pro
Inside your OFMPro account, go to the Custom Domains section.
Click the top-right button: "Add Domain"
Type in your new domain (use all lowercase letters).
Step 5 – Copy the DNS Records
You’ll now see your required CNAME and sometimes TXT records.
🕒 If the TXT record doesn’t appear right away, check back in 10 minutes.
Step 6 – Add DNS Records in Cloudflare
In Cloudflare:
Navigate to the DNS settings for your domain
Click "Add Record"
Add both the CNAME and TXT (if provided) exactly as shown in OFM Pro
⚠️ Make sure Proxy Status is ON
❌ Avoid extra spaces when copying & pasting
Step 7 – Let It Propagate
DNS changes usually apply quickly (5–30 minutes), but can take up to 24 hours.
In your OFMPro dashboard, the domain will show as “Active” once it’s ready.
❗️ Seeing “Error” instead of “Pending”?
Our system re-checks every 10 minutes — this is normal at first.
But if the error remains for over an hour, double-check your DNS settings.
Step 8 – You’re Live!
Once your domain is active, you can start assigning links to it.
