Hi team! I am looking to protect my clients websites hosted in AWS VPCs using CloudFlare but I have

Hi team! I am looking to protect my clients websites hosted in AWS VPCs using CloudFlare but I have some questions about it, could someone help me?

I am looking to sign up Business plan, do I need to create 1 plan per domain or website or I can use my plan for all websites I host (25 sites)
And, as business plan, I can see that I can use cname DNS because I do not would like to move my DNS zones to CloudFlare, but root records does not accept cname record type, how could I protect a website with CloudFlare and root zone without moving it to CloudFlare DNS? They offer A/AAAA record types for this protection?
Thanks a lot!

cloudflare nessecarily needs to control your root zone because they will replace your IPs in true DNS with their IPs- that's the whole point.
You need one buisness plan per domain.

ey everyone, I need some help with my domain setup!
I bought a domain through iCloud and I’m trying to point my root domain (@) and www subdomain to Adobe Portfolio using A records. The issue is that Cloudflare automatically created a CNAME for @, and I can’t remove it because of CNAME Flattening.

I need to:

Replace the CNAME for @ with the A records from Adobe.
I keep getting the "same name" error when trying to add the A records.
Adobe needs to be the root domain, but Cloudflare is complicating things.
I’m using a free Cloudflare account and can’t seem to disable CNAME Flattening. Any advice would be really appreciated!

valkyrie_pilot•1/3/25, 7:02 PM

you should very easily be able to delete the CNAME and create a new A record. You can't update it in place, but that should be fine

valkyrie_pilot•1/3/25, 7:04 PM

i think the only alternative to 1 business plan per zone is an enterprise account, but those cost Way more. Like, tens of thousands of dollars. AWS WAF and CloudFront seems like a much better solution anyway if you're already all in on AWS

coop•1/3/25, 7:05 PM

I wish it were that simple! The CNAME for @ is locked and flattened, so I can't delete it or create a new A record for @ directly. I’ve tried, but Cloudflare doesn’t give me that option. It’s a bit of a roadblock since Adobe needs to be the root domain

Sounds like iCloud's parking page, you should be able to disable it in Registrar settings/the instructions here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/registrar/account-options/icloud-domains/#disable-landing-page

With iCloud Custom Email Domain

, you can now purchase a custom domain right from iCloud Settings through Cloudflare and have it automatically set up with your iCloud Mail account. It’s great if you want to create a custom email domain for you or your family, such as @examplefamily.com.

Go to radar and report misclasification of the domain - e.g. https://radar.cloudflare.com/domains/domain/example.com

Greetings, I am trying to look for a way to use functions and tools provided in https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-sdk/blob/main/packages/create-cloudflare/src/helpers/

trying to create my own template

Ian•1/4/25, 10:19 PM

some dev are interested in a template, but I need to use some tools in there for post creation configuration

Ian•1/4/25, 10:21 PM

I can always add the template to the official repo and not install anything ofc

Ian•1/4/25, 10:21 PM

well, try to, cuz the framework is only gaining small traction recently

James•1/4/25, 10:22 PM

You can create your own repos that people can use as a template URL in

npm create cloudflare

npm create cloudflare

I have an example at https://github.com/Cherry/wrangler-template-example

James•1/4/25, 10:22 PM

but yeah beyond that I'd recommend doing your own

npm create

Ian•1/4/25, 10:23 PM

that doesn't change that I need to copy paste those helper tools into the template no ?

James•1/4/25, 10:23 PM

What exactly are you expecting your template to do?

Ian•1/4/25, 10:24 PM

post creation, it needs to set up D1 and drizzle, then run initial migration

James•1/4/25, 10:25 PM

Yeah in such a case I'd just recommend doing your own thing with

npm create

npm create

. I don't think Cloudflare has anything that makes that easier - you might consider opening an issue as a feature request for C3 (create-cloudfalre)

Ian•1/4/25, 10:46 PM

ok, what I am thinking is literally forking create-cloudflare, and trim it down to just my needs

This is documented (somewhere, I don't have the link handy -- but confirm for yourself), I think if you go the route of making a new account, and you add the client domain to the new account, you will be given new nameservers for that domain. You'll follow the domain onboarding, current zone scan, etc. Once you update the NS with your registrar, the normal dns refresh process happens. Then you have full control of the domain in the new account.

If it's the first time an image has been loaded, it's probably not in Cloudflare's caches so it will fetch it from the server first
