Make my e-mail to stio.studio

I have created a website https://stio.studio and want to create a e-mail. I tried to do the tutorial to cloudflare but I think I messed something up. Info: I bought the stio.studio domain thru porkbun I use github for my website I am totally new to all of e.mail, url, dns and stuff (I don't know what tags to use 😅)

stio
stioOP•16mo ago

Soham
Soham•16mo ago
how are you editing your dns settings?
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
... I don't know what you are talking about 😅

Have you added your domain to Cloudflare?
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
Yes
Andrew

stio doesn't know how to do most of this stuff he is very new to website creating
zegevlier

Okay. Does it still say "Pending Nameservers" or anything like that in the overview?
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
zegevlier
zegevlier•16mo ago
Okay, so you still need to switch over the nameservers. If you click on that, it should tell you how to do that
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
click on what?
Andrew
Andrew•16mo ago
the "pending nameserver update" i think
Soham
Soham•16mo ago
the stio.studio
zegevlier
zegevlier•16mo ago
Yea, just click on that card
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
Andrew
Andrew•16mo ago
follow what it says to do
zegevlier
zegevlier•16mo ago
Yup. Now you need to go to porkbun (this is your domain registrar), then find the manage domain options

Lke this?

Then in porkbun, click on "Details" for your domain, and in the middle click "Edit" for your Authoritive Nameservers. Replace all of the porkbun ones with the two Cloudflare ones, and just wait a bit to receive an email about your website being activated in Cloudflare. Then you can use email forwarding or some other email solution
Andrew
Andrew•16mo ago
I think you need to configure it on porkbun not cloudflare
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
Porkbun will work still right?
Chaika
Chaika•16mo ago
For.. what? Once you change your DNS to Cloudflare, all DNS changes need to be made in Cloudflare's DNS Record Panels, any you make in Porkbun wouldn't apply Porkbun would still remain your registrar
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
oh ok
Soham
Soham•16mo ago
you'll have to migrate your dns records from porkbun to cloudflare however i think it does it for you now
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
Soham
Soham•16mo ago
yep change those
stio

It tries to scan common ones, but there's no guarantee it will get all. Definitely recommended to check it got everything on import. In this case, his website is brand new, so unlikely he has any he wants to keep
Soham
Soham•16mo ago
yep
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
Submit then?
Soham
Soham•16mo ago
yep
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
Does the e-mail work then?
Soham
Soham•16mo ago
you'll have to set that up do you want to send and recieve or just recieve?
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
Both ig
Soham
Soham•16mo ago
email routing only allows recieving
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
Oh ok
Soham
Soham•16mo ago
if you want sending you'll have to look at another provider
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
oh

thanks
Soham
Soham•16mo ago
yeah might have been a bit unclear
Soham
Soham•16mo ago
i do this which allows me to protect my website and use custom email hosting
Chaika
Chaika•16mo ago
Porkbun has their own email solution as well, since you're using them as your registrar, no clue if it's any good though. I really like Fastmail, would recommend them, but they are a bit pricey. Zoho has a free plan for an single custom domain, and people have said good things about them
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
oh ok I think I will use zoho then
Soham
Soham•16mo ago
yeah i use zoho, its good for me, i dont really use email intensively so it works out well for me especially since its free
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
Should I just set the NS to default again then?
Soham
Soham•16mo ago
no you can keep it on cloudflare
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
but why would I?
Soham
Soham•16mo ago
website protection and other services why did you switch in the first place
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
I think porkbun does that switch what?
Soham
Soham•16mo ago
switch from porkbun to cloudflare
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
Because you guys said I should do that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
zegevlier
zegevlier•16mo ago
They don't do DDOS protection, at least not by default
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
a what protection?
Andrew
Andrew•16mo ago

Cloudflare gets you a lot of useful features for free. Of course the people here will be a bit biased, but fwiw I have all my domains on Cloudflare, even if I've registred them elsewhere.
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
oh ok

A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the normal traffic of a targeted server, service or network by overwhelming the target or its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of Internet traffic.
Chaika
Chaika•16mo ago
Porkbun uses Cloudflare for its nameservers anyway, you're basically picking from a lighter feature set of Cloudflare, or full Cloudflare with all features/etc
Soham
Soham•16mo ago
yeah the free features are really good
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
oh lol
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
I will just keep it at this then?
Chaika
Chaika•16mo ago
yea, and any changes you make to DNS Records need to be done within Cloudflare
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
Oh ok
Andrew
Andrew•16mo ago
ok good luck with your website
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
Thanks I will see what zoho has to offer :) So umm as this is already open Can I get some more help? So I am trying to add the zoho
stio
stioOP•16mo ago

Chaika
Chaika•16mo ago
stio
stioOP•16mo ago
Oh I think I did it No 😅 I did it now It works now How do I connect to GitHub?
Chaika
Chaika•16mo ago

stio
stioOP•16mo ago
