Add Cloudflare Custom Domain to Vercel
Raw
README.md

Add Cloudflare custom domain to Vercel

  1. Sign up and sign in to Cloudflare https://dash.cloudflare.com/sign-up.

  2. In your Cloudflare dashboard, select the Domain Registration > Register Domains tab.

  3. Search for your favorite domain and purchase it. In my case, I purchased the domain https://nivethan.me/ for my portfolio.

  4. Sign in to Vercel and go to your dashboard, where you can see all your projects in the Overview tab.

  5. Click on a project and on the top right, select Domains.

  6. Type your domain in the text box, e.g., nivethan.me, and click Add.

  7. Select the recommended option: Add www.nivethan.me and redirect nivethan.me to it.

  8. Vercel will show an invalid configuration under your domains and display the relevant A record IP under nivethan.me and a CNAME IP under www.nivethan.me. These need to be set up on Cloudflare to make it work.

  9. Go to the Cloudflare dashboard and select Domain Registration > Manage Domains tab.

  10. Your domain will be listed in a table. Select Manage.

  11. Look for Update DNS configuration under the quick actions.

  12. Add an A record (turn off proxy):

    Type Name(required) IPv4 address(required) Proxy status
    A @ 89.28.116 off

  13. Add a CNAME record (turn off proxy):

    Type Name(required) IPv4 address(required) Proxy status
    CNAME www cname.vercel-dns.com off

  14. You're done! Visit your domain, and you should now see your project live and accessible.

No, the IP v4 address is in your settings/Domains page in Vercel (I think, going off memory here.)

I also had to add the NS onto cloudflare for it to work. It took forever to find out that it was in the same place that you set the A Record and CNAME record.
