This video is for beginners and anyone who wants to know how to buy a domain name then link it to Cloudflare for later use with your home server. Using cloudflare with your domain has many advantages such as easy dns editing and being able to use the cloudflare api with your reverse proxy for ssl cert creation using dns verification. This is essential for people who cant verify using http due to their isp blocking port 80.
This video will have many follow on videos which will be using a domain linked to cloudflare. Such as setting up a Mine craft server and various reverse proxies.

Update 2022. Cloudflare is now their own domain name registrar and email routing service on top of being a DNS service provider. I highly recommend getting your domain name through Cloudflare instead. I had Google as my registrar before and switching over to Cloudflare has been much cheaper and seamless. Everything is already integrated into Cloudflare. No need to modify NS records nothing like that. It's a big plus now and this just came out early 2022.

Thank you! Do you happen to know which parts of the tutorial are still applicable? I just bought my domain directly from cloudflare.

Nice Space Invader. Great idea, bringing up basic knowledge. There is too little quality out there. Most out there just give it one broad stroke explaining everything and move on to the advanced stuff. Keep it up! I love your channel.

Great video Ed. Will grab a domain for my Unraid server use. Look forward to the new video series.

Done! Domain name for your videos created and ready! Our youngest son is wanting a self hosted Minecraft server so can't wait for the next instalment. Plus, the reverse proxy and Pfsense videos. Your Pfsense videos 12 months or so ago prompted me to set that up also as did your general unRaid videos took me down the unRaid path 3 years ago!! Great channel and keep up the superb work.

@IchBinBoss 3 года назад

thanks:D Actually I think cloudflare is a great thing for home server. Anyhow Iam new in that scene and have some trobules.. I would be very thankful for a complete CloudFlare Home Server solution. That means that no-static-IP will get updated through Cloudflare and not Duckdns. Also all subdomains will be setup in cloudflare. If possible then subdomains should be proxied. And Iam sure there are many things more which can be done with Cloudflare :D Right now my setup works, but my WAN IP is "leaked"

also Plex on Cloud Tutorial with Direct Streaming from Cloud would be great. I have used your rclone tutorial and mounted my GDRIVE. The only issue is that my upload speed is very bad. I am trying to direct stream from Gdrive :)

You mentioned reverse proxy for http and https, but will an SRV record work for website traffic on another server?. i.e. server.com goes to the main web server and test.server.com goes to another IP hosting another site entirely.

@iBoolGuy Год назад

Hello, before I get into this I had a question. I'm coming to this because I wanted to host a domain that I want to use for nextcloud, according to your other video. My question is, I want my Plex server (hosted on the same unraid) to be up 24/7 (it keeps going down and disconnected a lot, if electricity goes down (I'll get a UPS), when the home's IP changes, if the router changes IP's). I'm basically never able to keep Plex up, I still haven't figured that out, so the question, is this domain I'm about to host going to "conflict" somehow with the Plex stuff? Or.. can I use this domain to also benefit Plex? Or are those two completely separate matters? edit: oh my god :O this IS the answer!

Other than Cloudflare being better why not just use GoDaddy for the DNS?

You could, but cloudflare as the ability to hide your servers public ip address so no one can workout hwere your server is located and can block ddos attacks

@needmoreprivacy4947 3 года назад

Warning! This only works for dns names you use for web. If you need ssh or imap or wireguard access, CF will not proxy those and you will be locked out. Also, godaddy is evil, they cancel domains they disagree with politically. Do not use godaddy.

@SpaceinvaderOne Год назад

Yes, you can still use the steps in the video even if you have a dynamic IP address. You'll just need to make sure to update your DNS records with your new IP address whenever it changes. Cloudflare has tools to help with this, so it shouldn't be too difficult. Good luck!
