ukclearance Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 A client wanted to enable the Cloudflare option in the Cpanel for their free hosted account but yet the option appear to have been removed, I have connected to their control panel myself and cannot find the option to enable cloudflare when i looked. Is this a bug or has cloudflare been removed from the free hosts cpanel? As I can find no announcement to notify if this feature has been taken away. And as i had advertised on my reseller site that 1 click cloudflare enabling was available from the cpanel it has been removed do i need to edit my reseller site to remove that reference?

Yes the cloudflare plugin in VistaPanel has been removed because Cloudflare depreciated their plugin. Clients have to manually add their domain to cloudflare. You should remove that reference as well to not confuse any other clients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukclearance Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 Thank you for the quick response on this cloudflare situation. Are there any tutorials on how to manually enable cloudflare for their domain if they are using their own domain name resolving using the name servers from byet for the free hosting?

Dimitris Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Add a site · Cloudflare Fundamentals docs this is the official tutorial by Cloudflare but I'm not completely sure whether it will work for free hosting. You can check it out and let me know if it's not working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will have to change the nameservers to Cloudflare and set up the domain with CF, then create A records to point back to orgin server.

ukclearance Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 If they changed the name servers to those of Cloudflare how do they find the IP addresses for setting up the A records pointing back the the free hosting, as all that was handled by the plugin previously.

But the Infinityfree cpanel looks completely different to the vistapanel and I see no where in Vistapanel where it shows you what your IP address is? If i run a ping against the domain name registered on the clients account it comes back with an IP of 185.27.134.149 would that be the correct one for making the A records?

TinkerMan Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 The IP is not displayed in the vPanel, at least I don't think it is. You would have to run an IP query for the clients domain, making sure to make the call to your reseller nameservers, just in case the client is using an external provider for their DNS zone.

Administrator Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 this can simply be found using nslookup $domain_name ns1.byet.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
