Forward My .AM Domain With Cloudflare

Here’s a guide to forward and redirect your .am domain using Cloudflare. Cloudflare makes it simple to manage DNS records and create redirects, allowing you to seamlessly forward your .am domain.

Step-by-Step Guide to Forward and Redirect Your .am Domain with Cloudflare

Step 1: Add Your .am Domain to Cloudflare

1. Log in to Cloudflare (or create an account if you don’t have one).

2. Add Your Domain:

  • On your Cloudflare dashboard, click Add a Site.

  • Enter your .am domain (e.g., yourdomain.am).

3. Select a Cloudflare Plan:

  • Cloudflare offers a free plan which should work fine for basic redirection.

  • Select the appropriate plan and continue.

4. Update Proxy and DNS Settings:

  • Cloudflare will require you to update Proxy and DNS settings for your domain before redirecting or forwarding.

  • If you find information such old TXT Records, A Records, etc., from the domain you added, and you didn’t add that information, just delete that information and start fresh with the new settings.

Step 1: Create records click “Add Record”

Step 2: Create your first “A Record” with the “@” symbol where it says “Name (Required) and click “Save”. 

Step 3: Create your second “A Record” with “www” where it says “Name (Required) and click “Save”. 

Step 4: Click “Continue to activation”

5. Update Nameservers:

  • Cloudflare will provide nameservers for you to update at your domain registrar (the site where you purchased your .am domain).

  • Log into your registrar’s dashboard, find the DNS settings, and replace the existing nameservers with the ones Cloudflare provided.

5. Verify:

  • Once you update the nameservers, return to Cloudflare and click “Continue”. It may take up to 24 hours for the nameserver changes to propagate.
