hi basically i’v setup my wordpress droplet correctly now i brought cvrsocial.uk from cloudflare, but when i put that domain in my browser i’m getting # This site can’t be reached
Check if there is a typo in cvrsocial.uk.
- If spelling is correct, [try running windows network Diagnostics](javascript:diagnoseErrors()).
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
now NXDOMAIN is for mail servers only!

Hello @jayangler
You can double check the IP address of the droplet and make sure that the A record is pointed to the correct IP. In order to speed things up you can temporary disable CloudFlare’s caching if present.
Also ensure that the web-service (Apache/Nginx) is running in order to server the content of your site/application.
Regards
Hey @jayangler,
The IP you provided, 165.227.198.181 is not actually in use :
Are you sure that is your Droplet’s IP address? You can check that from your Control Panel --> Projects —> Your Droplet IP.
Apart from that, what you need to do once you get the proper IP address is to point the IP from Cloudflare to your Droplet and use Cloudflare’s Nameservers on your Domain.
