DNS Setup Guide

Already on Cloudflare

Takes about 5 minutes — you only do this once.

Heads up: Since your domain is already on Cloudflare, you don't need to change nameservers. We just need to add two DNS records to point your domain to your new site.

Go to dash.cloudflare.com and sign in.

Select your domain

Click your domain name from the dashboard.

Open DNS Records

Click DNS in the left sidebar, then Records.

Add first record

Click Add record. Set Type to CNAME, Name to @, and Target to the value from your MachSites setup email.

Add second record

Click Add record again. Same settings — Type CNAME, Name www, same Target.

Save both

Click Save after each. Your domain will point to the new site within minutes.

Good to know: If you see an existing A record or CNAME for @ or www, delete those first — conflicting records will prevent the new site from loading.

After you save

DNS changes typically propagate within 1–4 hours, sometimes faster. Once your domain is live, we'll send a confirmation and your client portal will activate.

Hit a snag? Just reply to your setup email — we'll sort it out.
