Connect your domain at Cloudflare
Add two records at Cloudflare so your site works whether visitors type
yourdomain.com or www.yourdomain.com. It takes a couple of minutes.
Record 1: your root domain
Record type: A
Name / Host: @ (means your root domain)
Value / Points to: 138.197.57.119
Record 2: www
Record type: CNAME
Name / Host: www
Value / Points to: bizporch.com
⚠️ Cloudflare turns the orange “Proxied” cloud on by default. You must click the cloud so it shows grey “DNS only” — otherwise your site’s security certificate cannot be issued and visitors will see errors.
Step 1: add the A record (your root domain)
- Go to dash.cloudflare.com, log in, and click your domain.
- In the left sidebar, click DNS → Records.
- Click + Add record.
- Set Type to A. In Name, type
@ (Cloudflare shows it as your domain name — that is correct). In IPv4 address, enter 138.197.57.119. - Under Proxy status, click the cloud icon so it shows grey “DNS only” (not orange). See the warning above.
- Leave TTL on Auto, then click Save.
Step 2: add the www record
Add this so www.yourdomain.com reaches your site too (we redirect it to your main address automatically):
+ Add record → Type CNAME → Name www → Target bizporch.com → set Proxy status to grey (DNS only) → Save.

Good to know
- The proxy must be DNS only (grey cloud) — see the warning above.
- Changes are usually live within a few minutes.
Last step: once you’ve added the record, open your BizPorch dashboard, go to
Custom Domain, and enter your domain. We check your DNS automatically and turn on
a free security certificate as soon as it points here. DNS changes can take a few minutes to a few hours.
