2. Once you have signed up, you will receive an **email from CloudFlare** with a password setup link. Click on it and you will be redirected to a menu with an option to set up the password for the **CloudFlare account**. Once done, you will be able to log in. 

On the very first page after logging in you will need to **enter the domain name** you’d like to enable CloudFlare for and click on S**can DNS records**.

If your domain is registered with another domain registrar, you need to log into your account there and change the nameservers for the domain. 

If your domain is registered with Mochahost, you need to follow the instructions in the link below:

7. Once the nameservers are set up, return to the **CloudFlare tab** and click **Recheck Nameservers**.

9. On the **DNS Records** page, you may **add or delete the DNS records** for your domain. In order to add any record, click **Add Record (2)** and choose the record type you need **(1)**, the hostname (subdomains or domain itself) and value of the record. **TTL** will be set up automatically. Also, you may deactivate **(3)** or activate **(4)** the **CloudFlare service** for each record by clicking on the orange/grey cloud under the **Status column**.

Once the nameservers have been set up, it may take up to 12-24 hours for local ISPs to update their DNS caches so that everyone can see your website.
