2️⃣Add Your Domain to RaffleX

To set up your custom domain on RaffleX, we need to make sure it’s secure. To do this, we use Cloudflare. It basically lets your customers and web browsers know that your site is safe to use.

You will have went down one of two routes when purchasing your domain.

• Purchased on cloudflare.com (skip Import DNS Records to Cloudflare)

• Purchased on a different provider (GoDaddy, Namecheap, 123-reg etc...)
