I have a website example.extension
hosted with a US web hosting company.
The domain is registered with GoDaddy, and uses name servers from the US web hosting company.
I wish to have a sub-domain this.example.extension
hosted with an Australian web hosting company.
I know I can add an A record for this.example.extension
in example.extension
's cPanel.
However, I also wish to use Cloudflare for this.example.extension
, and this requires creating a CNAME record, and CNAME records cannot coexist with A records for the same domain or subdomain. i.e. I cannot have an A record for this.example.extension
and a CNAME record for this.example.extension
(according to cPanel).
At the moment, there is simply a CNAME record pointing this.example.extension
to this.example.extension.cdn.cloudflare.net
I've added the site to Cloud Flare, and Cloud Flare knows where the website is created.
Is this enough to ensure the site loads fine?
Help appreciated.
