Set up your Cloudflare account
This guide will help you create your own Cloudflare account, secure it, and give us the access we need to set up and manage your website. You will remain the account owner at all times.
Before you start
We recommend creating the Cloudflare account using an email address owned by your business, rather than an employee's personal address. If you have one available, an address such as cloudflare@yourcompany.co.uk or admin@yourcompany.co.uk is ideal.
Please don't send us your password.
Sign up to Cloudflare
Open Cloudflare's sign-up page and create an account using your business email address. Choose a strong, unique password.
Verify your email address.
Create your account
Enter your business email address and choose a secure password.
Enable two-factor authentication
Once you're signed in, open your profile and go to My Profile → Authentication. Add a two-factor authentication method.
Why this matters
Authentication
Configure the ways you sign in and protect your account.
Add an additional security method to your account.
Open the Members page
In the Cloudflare dashboard, select your account and open Manage account → Members. Then click Invite members.
If the screen looks slightly different, look for Manage account and then Members.
Invite us as an Administrator
Enter the email address below, then create a permission policy using the Administrator role.
You still remain in control.
Cloudflare's Administrator role can manage account settings and subscriptions, so only grant this level of access to a developer or agency you trust. You can revoke our access later from the Members page.
Invite members
Add a member and define what they can access.
Using Cloudflare for other websites too?
Review and send the invitation
Click Continue to summary, check the details, and then click Invite.
That's it, you're finished.
A note about ownership
The Cloudflare account belongs to your business. Keeping it in your own name means you retain control of your domain and Cloudflare configuration even if you change web developers in the future. Dannerr Tech's access can be removed at any time from Manage account → Members.
