Hello, This is my first website and I want some feedback from you guys. It's very basic and I haven't added much. just wanted to host something so I threw invidious and whoogle instance there. My ISP doesn't provide a static IP so I had to host it on tor :( what else do you think I should host there? server spec: 15 year old computer with i3 first gen cpu.

It's great with subdomains, I don't think it works on root Domains but it's still extremely easy to set up.

I would recommend forcing HTTPS as well as creating a Page Rule enforcing strict SSL.

I can confirm it works on root domains.

How do you get it to work in root domains? I've only ever been able to get subdomains to work.

[-] SteveTech@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I just did it like I would for a subdomain (with a CNAME).

Cloudflare does leave this little message though: CNAME records normally can not be on the zone apex. We use CNAME flattening to make it possible. Learn more.

Thanks for the link, I had been trying for a while and one of my domains doesn't even work now after I changed too many DNS records.
