Let me explain the key components and flow:
-
Domain Registration (Versio):
- Maintains the domain registration for vanheemstrasystems.com
- Delegates DNS authority to Cloudflare via nameserver settings
-
DNS & Proxy (Cloudflare):
- Manages DNS records including the prompt-management subdomain
- Provides security, caching, and optimization
- Routes traffic to Valyent
- Acts as the "broker" in your setup
-
Web Host (Valyent):
- Hosts the actual web application
- Receives traffic via Cloudflare's proxy
-
Request Flow:
- User requests prompt-management.vanheemstrasystems.com
- Request goes through Cloudflare's global network
- Cloudflare forwards to Valyent
- Response returns through Cloudflare to user
This setup gives you:
- Centralized DNS management
- Easy host changes if needed
- Added security and performance from Cloudflare
- Clean separation of concerns between registration, DNS, and hosting
