Cloudflare for custom domains

Every new offer, geo or client means another domain, and another round of copying DNS records into a registrar. Connect Cloudflare once and LanderLab creates the records for you, root domains included.

Why connect it

Why Cloudflare and LanderLab

  • No DNS records to copy by hand

    LanderLab creates the DNS records in your Cloudflare account and keeps them maintained. There's no host, value or record type to get wrong at a registrar.

  • Sign in once, reuse for every domain

    After you authorize Cloudflare, the account stays available in LanderLab, so the next domain is connected without signing in again.

  • Root domains work, not just subdomains

    Cloudflare supports both root domains and subdomains. Manual DNS usually needs a subdomain like lp.yourdomain.com, because many providers don't allow the record on a root domain.

  • Domains already on Cloudflare go live fast

    If the domain's DNS already points to Cloudflare, no registrar change is needed and the domain moves to Active shortly after you add it.

  • No Global API Key to hand over

    You connect by signing in to Cloudflare and approving access, not by pasting your account's Global API Key into another tool.

  • Several Cloudflare accounts, one place

    Connect more than one Cloudflare account and pick the one that holds each domain, which suits agencies and buyers who keep brands in separate accounts.

Cloudflare on your landing pages

If you run one landing page on one domain, DNS is a one-time chore. Media buyers rarely do. A domain per offer, a domain per geo, a domain per client: each one means logging in to a registrar, finding the DNS screen, creating a record in that provider's format, waiting, and checking whether HTTPS needs a second record. It's the slowest part of launching a page that's otherwise ready.

LanderLab's Cloudflare connection takes that part away. You sign in to Cloudflare once and approve access, and from then on LanderLab creates and maintains the DNS records for every domain you add from that account. When you add a domain, LanderLab checks where its DNS is managed and recommends Cloudflare when it finds it there.

Custom domains without copying DNS records

With Manual DNS, every domain is a small project: open the provider's DNS screen, create the record LanderLab shows, match each provider's idea of what a host should look like, clear any record already on that host, then refresh until it verifies, and sometimes add a second record for HTTPS. It works with any registrar, and it's still the step where launches stall.

With Cloudflare connected, LanderLab writes the records into your Cloudflare account itself and maintains them afterwards. You enter the domain, choose which workspaces can publish to it, and the page you built this morning can go live on its own domain the same day.

A domain per offer, per geo, per client

Buyers who split traffic across domains, one per vertical, one per country, one per client, add domains far more often than anyone else. That's exactly when signing in once pays off: every new domain from a connected Cloudflare account skips the DNS work entirely.

Each domain can be limited to the workspaces that should publish on it, or opened to All Workspaces, which also covers workspaces you create later. An agency can keep each client's domains in that client's workspace, connected through the client's own Cloudflare account.

Root domains for brand-led offers

Some offers should live on the root domain, not on lp. or go. in front of it: an advertorial brand, a product site, a client who wants their own clean URL in the ad. Many DNS providers can't put the record LanderLab needs on a root domain, which is why Manual DNS usually asks for a subdomain. Cloudflare supports both, so the root domain is an option from the start.

Domains that aren't on Cloudflare yet

A domain registered elsewhere can still take the Cloudflare route: one nameserver change at the registrar, made once per domain, instead of DNS records to maintain there for every page you publish.

The change can take from a few minutes to 48 hours to reach everyone, and the domain shows as Pending until it does, so make it before launch day, not on it.

Ready for paid traffic once it's Active

Whichever way a domain is connected, its settings are where paid traffic gets looked after. Disable Indexing adds a noindex tag to every page on a domain used only for ads. A custom fallback URL sends people who hit a dead link to a page with an opt-in form instead of a 404. Domain-level custom code puts a tag manager, a pixel or a consent banner on every page published there, once.

Use cases

Ways to use Cloudflare on paid traffic

  • 01

    An affiliate with a domain per geo

    An affiliate running the same offer in several countries keeps a domain per market in one Cloudflare account. Each new market's domain is added in LanderLab and connected without touching DNS, so the localized landing pages launch as soon as they're translated.

  • 02

    An agency with clients on their own domains

    Each client's domain sits in the client's Cloudflare account. The agency connects those accounts, picks the right one for each domain, and limits the domain to that client's workspace.

  • 03

    A brand test on a fresh root domain

    A media buyer testing a new ecom angle registers a short brand domain and runs the advertorial on the root, not a subdomain. Indexing is switched off for the domain, since every visit comes from ads.

FAQ

Cloudflare integration FAQ

Cloudflare and LanderLab

Is the Cloudflare integration worth it?

If you add domains often, yes. LanderLab creates and maintains the DNS records for you, root domains work, and every domain after the first skips the sign-in.

Do I need to move my domain to Cloudflare?

No. Manual DNS works with any registrar. To use the Cloudflare route for a domain managed elsewhere, LanderLab creates the zone in Cloudflare and you switch the domain's nameservers once.

Do I have to give LanderLab my Cloudflare Global API Key?

No. You sign in to Cloudflare and approve access. No Global API Key is needed.

Can I put a landing page on my root domain?

Yes, with Cloudflare, which supports root domains and subdomains. Manual DNS usually needs a subdomain such as lp.yourdomain.com.

Can I connect more than one Cloudflare account?

Yes. Connected accounts stay available, and when you add a domain you pick the account that holds it.

How soon is a new domain live?

A domain already on Cloudflare moves to Active shortly after you add it. After a nameserver change it stays Pending until the change propagates, usually a few minutes and up to 48 hours.
