A NOTE about HTTPS: With our hosting, we are not able to offer SSL / HTTPS hosting for your blog. Do not use the SSL Features in CloudFlare.
Full Domain
In this video, you'll learn how to use a vanity domain (custom domain) with your ResultFlow Instablog. In the video, the target parameter referenced in the video, note: no http or trailing slash
wordpresselb-697444127.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com
Sub Domain
For your subdomain, watch the video above. BUT instead of making that change at Cloudflare, you'll make the change where your DNS (Domain Name Server) is set. There, you'll add that CNAME for blog to point to the parameter.
For instance if your DNS is GoDaddy, you'll make subdomain changes at GoDaddy. Namecheap at Namecheap, etc.

Click on site menu, then go to Credentials.
Click Edit.
Enter your domain name. Then click Submit.
You will then notice a red exclamation mark. Don’t worry on this, we need to complete 2 steps in order to work properly. We need to put a free third party service in the middle name Cloudflare.
You need to sign up to a Cloudflare free account. Once you signed up, click on +Add Site.
Type the name of your site. Click Add Site.
You can choose whatever plan you want to, but we recommend to use Free version. Click Confirm plan.
Now it’s time to connect Cloudflare to Resultflow blog, the Instablog platform. Click on +Add record.
Do exactly as below:
Type: chose CNAME.
Name: type @
Target: wordpresselb-697444127.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com
Click Save.
Click Continue.
Now you need to connect your registrar to Cloudflare. Your registrar may be different, mine is adotname, but you should have a place to set name servers in your registrar. Take the name servers in Cloudflare, that is a minimum of 2, copy each.
Erase what is in there and paste the nameserver.
Click Save.
It can take a variable amount of time before you take everything to start working again so what I encourage you to do when you make this change, don’t do it at the standard posting time. Look at your scheduler and don’t do it right before your Resulflow will post on your blog. Pick a time of the day that it does not gonna happen. To check if changes have been made, click Done, check nameservers.
Check if everything is ok. Click Done.
And you should see the correct details.
Go to the tab of your blog and refresh to see if it works. It depends on who your internet provider is, it may take a variable amount of time.
