Do I Need To Keep Using Cloudflare With My SoCast Website?
No, you do not need to continue using Cloudflare to host your DNS or provide security for your SoCast website. The SoCast platform is already secured with a web application firewall that defends against common attacks. Discontinuing Cloudflare will not affect your website’s operation, as SoCast provides the necessary protection.
If you wish to move your DNS hosting away from Cloudflare (for example, to GoDaddy), you will need to:
- Obtain a copy of your current DNS zone records from Cloudflare (A, MX, CNAME, and TXT records).
- Log in to your new DNS provider (such as GoDaddy).
- Recreate the necessary DNS records in your new DNS provider’s dashboard.
- Update your domain’s nameservers to point to your new DNS provider.
- Ensure that any records related to your SoCast website continue to point to the correct SoCast endpoint address (e.g., 54.84.131.112).
If you are unsure about making DNS changes, consult your domain registrar or contact SoCast for information about our DNS concierge service (additional fees may apply).
