Account setup
You own the hosting. We build in your Cloudflare account. You can remove our access anytime.
How go-live works
1 · Cloudflare
You create a free Cloudflare account and invite us. We move the site into your account so you own hosting.
2 · Nameservers
At go-live, your registrar points nameservers at Cloudflare so the real domain shows the new site. You keep renewing where you do today.
No domain registration transfer required for launch. Don’t change nameservers or DNS until we say it’s ready — that can break email.
Before go-live — do these two things
1. Create Cloudflare + invite us
- Sign up free at dash.cloudflare.com/sign-up (use an email you check for the practice)
- Manage Account → Members → invite
[email protected]as Administrator - Reply when the invite is sent
Prefer a video call? Reply and ask — bring that email + registrar login.
2. Tell us your registrar
Where you renew the domain (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Squarespace Domains, etc.).
Reply with: registrar name + can you log in? (Yes / No / Not sure)
Can’t find it? Email us — or search “whois yourdomain.com” and look for Registrar.
At go-live
We finish setup in your Cloudflare account first. Then one nameserver change at the registrar.
Reply to schedule a short Google Meet (~5 minutes). Join with registrar login ready. We’ll give you two nameserver values to paste, then confirm the site and email both work.
Recommended if you’re not sure where nameserver settings live.
Later (not needed for launch)
GitHub for code ownership when useful. Optional: move domain registration to Cloudflare Registrar so renewals sit next to hosting — skip until the site is stable. After launch, hosting stays free; domain renewal is usually ~$12–15/year.
Questions: [email protected]
Ready when you are
Cloudflare account, then a nameserver change — on a call or on your own.
