How to Enable SSL through Cloudflare

Updated over 9 months ago

At a Glance: This article helps you understand the steps you need to take to generate your SSL on Cloudflare.


In Trackier, you can set up white-label domains to promote your brand, differentiate traffic sources based on domains, avoid domain spamming, etc.

Once you purchase a domain, it is essential to enable SSL on your domain. SSL is a secured socket layer that allows your domain to redirect through "HTTPS" instead of "HTTP', which is generally an unsecured gateway.

Note:

If you buy your domain from Cloudflare, you can have the SSL generated there as well.

Step 1 : Domain on Cloudflare

  • Sign up on Cloudflare.com

  • Once signed up, you have to enter your domain. Cloudflare will automatically check for all types of records added to your domain and show them on the screen.

Step 2: Name servers

  • Cloudflare will give you their name servers; you need to replace your existing name servers with the ones provided by Cloudflare when you purchased your domain.

  • Type: Select CNAME in this option.

  • Name: Enter the subdomain for your domain. Example: sub-domain.main-domain.com. You need to enter only the sub-domain in this place. If your customized domain looks like trk.xyz.com, you have to enter trk in this field, which is your subdomain

  • Target: Enter the value as given to you from the Trackier Platform. The value will be different if you are using your domain for a tracking link, login, postback, or API.

  • TTL: Keep it auto (by default)

  • Proxy Status: Keep the status as proxied.

Step 5: Proxy status

  • Don't forget to keep the proxy status as 'Proxied'. This will make sure that your domain is enabled with SSL.

After following all the steps, a CNAME record would be added, and the SSL would also be generated for free.

Trackier provides SSL for your customised domain only in the Enterprise Plan.
