First, are going to need a registered domain.

If you don't have a registered name yet and need some help, click this link to learn more.

Other Kajabi Heroes like you like to use GoDaddy to register their domains, but there are many registrars for you to choose from!

You're also free to use an existing domain; a newly registered domain isn't required.

Own a registered domain? Add your domain to Cloudflare:

• To signup for a free Cloudflare account Click Here.
• Once you've created your account, you'll need to add your domain to Cloudflare.
• Enter your domain, click "Scan DNS Records" and wait for it to scan, then click "Continue Setup" once it completes its scan.
• Next, it will ask you to verify that all of your records are listed.
  • If you're using a newly registered domain, you won't need to worry about what's on this screen.
  • If you're using an existing domain, however, you'll want to double-check that anything you previously had set up with your domain is still present. If anything is missing you can add it now or get it set up later.
• After you have verified everything, click " Continue" at the bottom.
• You will again be asked for a plan.
  • For the purposes of setting up a custom domain with Kajabi, all you'll need is the Free plan. Go ahead and select "Free Website" and click "Continue" at the bottom.

Now that your domain is set up with Cloudflare, you'll need to set up a CNAME record that will point your domain to Kajabi.

This can be done with "www" or another subdomain (e.g. "courses", "members").

For this example, we'll be using the hostname "www".

• Click the " DNS" tab at the top and add your CNAME record as follows:

Type: CNAME
Name: www
Domain: endpoint.mykajabi.com
Proxy Status: DNS Only
TTL: 2 Minutes

Notes for this step:

• In step 2 of the Cloudflare connection guide in Kajabi's Settings, Kajabi has created and highlighted the exact text needed for this box. Simply copy and paste this text into the box labeled Target.
• If you have an existing record with the same hostname that you're trying to add ("www" in this case) you will receive an error stating "An A, AAAA or CNAME record already exists with that host. (Code: 81053)." You will need to locate the existing record and remove it by clicking on the X at the end of the record.
• Once you've added your record, be sure to set the Proxy Status to DNS Only by clicking the Orange cloud so that it turns Grey. Then, click Save.

The final step of the Cloudflare onboarding process is to change your nameservers over to the ones that CloudFlare provides you:

Cloudflare has many guides for changing nameservers with the most common domain registrars. Find your domain host on the list, then follow the instructions. Please contact your registrar if you have any questions.  Click here for a Cloudflare guide on how to change your nameservers. 

With your record all set up, the last thing you'll need to do is enable Full SSL for your domain:

• Click on the SSL/TLS  settings from the top menu.
• In the first section labeled "SSL" you'll want to select "Full".
• Click Edge Certificate to see if your SSL certificate is Active. This may take up to 24 hours to activate but, in most cases takes somewhere between 5 to 20 minutes.
