Here is a video on how you can create a Cloudflare account and how to add your first domain to Cloudflare.

1. Once your domain is added to Cloudflare, you will need to set up your DNS records. DNS records are used to map domain names to IP addresses, and they control how your domain is accessed and used online.
2. To set up your DNS records, click on the "DNS" tab in the dashboard and then click on the "Add record" button.
3. From here, you can add different types of DNS records such as A records, CNAME records, and MX records. Each of these records serves a specific purpose, and you will need to choose the appropriate type based on your needs.
4. Now if you want to use a domain or sub-domain name to access your PushBluster admin panel, you will need to add an A record that maps your domain name to the IP address of your PushBluster server.
5. Once you have added your DNS records, click on the "Save" button to apply the changes. It may take some time for the changes to take effect, so be patient.
6. That's it! You have successfully set up your domain name for PushBluster using Cloudflare.
