Why Connect Blogger to Cloudflare?

• 100x faster page loading speeds
• Free SSL certificate (HTTPS)
• DDoS protection and security
• Caching for better performance
• Detailed analytics

Let’s get into the full step-by-step process.

Buy a Domain from Namecheap

First, you need a custom domain. Namecheap is a popular and reliable domain registrar that accepts various payment methods.

1. Find Your Domain: Go to the Namecheap website and use the search bar to find an available domain name.
2. Add to Cart: Once you find the perfect domain, add it to your cart. You can choose to add privacy protection, which is often free for the first year.
3. Checkout: Proceed to the checkout page. Here's how buy domain from namecheap using card or crypto currency.
   
   Purchase with Credit Card
   1. Proceed to checkout
   2. Select credit card as payment method
   3. Complete your purchase
   Purchase with Cryptocurrency
   1. At checkout, select Cryptocurrency as payment method
   2. Choose Bitcoin (Namecheap now only accepts Bitcoin)
   3. Send the exact amount to the provided wallet address
   4. Wait for blockchain confirmation (usually 10-30 minutes)
   5. Your domain will be registered automatically

   

Info:
Domains from Namecheap come with free WHOIS protection.

Now that you own your domain, it’s time to point it to Cloudflare to enable optimization and protection.

How to Connect Namecheap to Cloudflare?

This is an important step that gives CloudFlare control over your domain's DNS.

1. Sign Up for Cloudflare: Go to the Cloudflare website and create a free account.
2. Add Your Site: Once logged in, click Add a site and enter your domain name (e.g., yourdomain.com). Select the free plan and click Continue.

   

   

3. Review DNS Records: Cloudflare will automatically scan for your existing DNS records from Namecheap. Review them to make sure they look correct. Don't worry if you don't see anything, or if they look a bit different, we'll adjust them later. Click Continue.
4. Change Nameservers on Namecheap: This is the most important part of how to connect namecheap to cloudflare. Cloudflare will give you two new nameservers (e.g., amy.ns.cloudflare.com and theo.ns.cloudflare.com).
   1. Login your Namecheap account and go to your Domain List.
   2. Click Manage next to your domain.
   3. Under the NAMESERVERS section, click the dropdown menu and select Custom DNS.
   4. Copy and paste the two Cloudflare nameservers into the provided fields.
   5. Click the green checkmark to save.

   

Warning:
DNS changes can take up to 24 hours to propagate globally, but it often happens much faster. Cloudflare will send you an email once the nameservers are successfully connected.

Let's talk about the process of how to connect Cloudflare to Blogger, step-by-step process.

Steps to Connect Blogger and Cloudflare

Step 1: How to Connect Cloudflare to Blogger

1. Go to Cloudflare dashboard
2. Go to DNS settings
3. Add these records (replace example.com with your domain):

   Type	Name	Content	TTL
   CNAME	www	ghs.google.com	Auto
   CNAME	oabqazdxf6p3	gv-vzlxgs3c2e5dal.dv.googlehosted.com	Auto
   A	@	216.239.32.21	Auto
   A	@	216.239.34.21	Auto
   A	@	216.239.36.21	Auto
   A	@	216.239.38.21	Auto

   

   Very Important:
   Place them side by side as shown in the table. But you will find a marked text on that table, and you will set your own there.

4. Go to Blogger dashboard
5. Go to Settings > Custom domain
6. Enter your domain (for example www.stackydesign.com)

   

7. Save settings > then you'll get a DNS error (this is normal)

   

8. Back in Cloudflare, add the CNAME record Blogger provides

   

Wait for propagation (usually 1-24 hours)
