Once your website is a part of the Vivio and CloudFlare communit= y, its web traffic is routed through an intelligent global network whi= ch will automatically optimize the delivery of your web pages so = your visitors get the fastest possible page load times. The network wi= ll also block threats and limit abusive bots and crawlers from wasting= your bandwidth and server resources. The result: websites powered by Vivio= and CloudFlare will see a significant improvement in performance= and a decrease in spam and other web-based attacks.
These instructions assume that you have set up your site within cPanel a= nd that your nameservers are pointing to Vivio's Nameservers (usually somet= hing like NS20.VIVIOTECH.NET, etc). Your Vivio nameservers are indicated in= your Welcome email that you get when you create your account.
First you'll need to login to your cPanel account here at Vivio. Simply =
navigate to https://servername.viviotech.net:20=
83
(where 'servername' is the name of your server men=
tioned in your Welcome Letter).
Once logged in, you can find the Cpanel Cloudflare plugin either un= der the 'Software' heading, or you can search in the Search box at the= top of your home page, like so:
Clicking the cPanel CloudFlare plugin will prompt you for your CloudFlar= e login. You'll need to create an Cloudflare account (or login if you = already have one):
Once logged in, find the domain you want to enable CloudFlare on in your= "Active Zone" drop-down. Once there, click on the 'Provision Domain with C= NAME Setup' button:
Once here, select the subdomains you want to use with Cloudflare. By def= ault the main domain and the 'www.' subdomain will be selected. These are p= robably all most domains need, but if you need more go ahead and select the= m here.
After this, you're all set! Your site is now protected by = ;Cloudflare and distributed over the global CloudFlare CDN.
While other hosting providers require you to pay $200/mo for Railgun support, Vivio's close partnership with CloudFlare= gives you the ability to enable Railgun support free = of charge. What is Railgun? Railgun compresses previously uncac= heable web objects up to 99.6% by leveraging techniques similar to those us= ed in the compression of high-quality video. This result in an average= performance increase of 200% compared to a traditional CDN.
If you want blisteringly fast performance, you can enable Railgun suppor= t by hitting the 'Performance' link at the top of your CloudFlare main= screen. Scroll down until you see the 'Railgun' switch and toggle the= switch to the 'On' position.
That's all there is to it! You're now configured to not only use the Clo= udFlare Global CDN, but you're now ready to rock with powerful Railgun supp= ort.
You can confirm your site is using Railgun by using the built-in 'Develo= per Tools' for Google Chrome. Simply browse to your site using the Google C= hrome web browser, then hit the 'F12' key to bring up the Developer tools. = Hit the 'Network' tab at the top, then refresh your browser. If you see 'Cf= -Railgun' in your response headers, like in the screen shot below, then you= 're all set!
If you have any quest= ions, please feel free to reach out to our Support staff via email= a>, phone, or web cha= t.
