Custom Domains


Need help connecting your Cloudflare root domain with ClickFunnels? This article can help you point the non-www version of your Cloudflare domain to ClickFunnels (i.e. yourdomain.com). This means anyone who searches yourdomain.com will be directed to the funnel/page to which you’ve assigned your root domain in ClickFunnels.

 

This tutorial will also show you how to set up a page rule in Cloudflare. This page rule will redirect anyone visiting www. + your domain + .com to the non-www version you set up inside of ClickFunnels. In other words, anyone who visits yourdomain.com or www.yourdomain.com will be redirected to your funnel/page.

 

Important Note: These instructions are for connecting your root domain to ClickFunnels (i.e. domain.com). If you are currently using your domain with another website and would rather keep it connected to that website, we recommend setting up a subdomain instead. Instructions for setting up a subdomain using Cloudflare can be found by visiting the following article: Adding A Cloudflare Subdomain.
