[ASK] CloudFire settings for HelioHost.

[fazar]

Hi,

 

Firstly, I would like to say thanks to HelioHost for providing great free webhosting service.

 

After I have an account on HelioHost, I would like to setup my account with CloudFlare service (they provide cdn-like service).

 

CloudFlare protects and accelerates any website online. Once your website is a part of the CloudFlare community, its web traffic is routed through our intelligent global network. We automatically optimize the delivery of your web pages so your visitors get the fastest page load times and best performance. We also block threats and limit abusive bots and crawlers from wasting your bandwidth and server resources. The result: CloudFlare-powered websites see a significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks.

 

Normally, adding a website in CloudFire requires only a simple change domain's DNS settings. So. I try to switch domain nameserver to HelioHost's nameservers (changing nameserver always work for me before). But, my website show Forbidden page after I did it.

 

 

Does HelioHost support CloudFlare services?

 

FYI, my domain name is fazar.web.id, my userid is fazar, and hosted on Johnny. Thanks in advance.

 

ps.

Sorry for my bad english (my native language is Indonesia).

One user was able to set this up without any problems, I recall.

 

fazar.web.id is pulling up helionet, are you sure you have this configured correctly?

[fazar]

yes, I'm sure.

 

I try to switch between ns1.heliohost.org (64.62.211.133) and ns2.heliohost.org (64.62.211.134) on CloudFlare's DNS settings. Currently I used ns1 and got my website pointed to HelioNet forum.

 

[Guest Geoff]

What options does the settings page have?

[fazar]

fields to set records such as A and CNAME, etc.

now its work after I pointed A records to Johnny's IP (64.62.211.131), but seems my blog getting slower to load.

 

anyway, thanks geoff.

You're welcome. Sorry about it not working like you wanted it to.
