I just created a droplet and migrated the wordpress files from masterblogster.com. This domain is currently in cloudflare. Is it possible to keep the domain in cloudflare and route it to Digital Ocean? I would like to continue using Cloudflare for DDOS protection.
Is there a way around?
Of course, all you'd need to do is point your domain to the Public IPv4 IP of your Droplet using either two A entries or a single A and a CNAME, depending on how you want to set it up.
Using Only A Entries
A @ DROPLET_IP
A www DROPLET_IP
Using A and CNAME Entries
A @ DROPLET_IP
CNAME www domain.com
Where DROPLET_IP is the Droplet's Public IPv4 IP and domain.com is your domain.
Thanks for the help, masterblogter.com is successfully setup. But now I have a problem with database error, it goes down occasionally.
No problem at all, happy to help!
If you're having issues with the database, please provide more details as well as the errors that you're receiving and we'll do our best to help you out :-).
Thanks a lot for being so helpful. I sorted it out. site is working fine right now.
After doing this, would it then be configured to accept wordpress url configuration for domain.com in replace of root for wordpress url and site url?
