Setting up Cloudflare Pages with an owns.it.com subdomain

This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a Cloudflare Pages website and pointing your owns.it.com subdomain towards it.

​
Create a Cloudflare Pages Website

First, you’ll need to create a website on Cloudflare Pages:
  1. Go to the Cloudflare Pages Getting Started Guide
  2. Follow the instructions to create and deploy your site
  3. Note down your site’s URL (it will be in the format your-sitename.pages.dev)

​
Point your subdomain to your Cloudflare Pages site

Next, you’ll need to point your owns.it.com subdomain to your Cloudflare Pages website:
  1. Go to the Cloudflare Pages Custom Domains Guide
  2. Follow only the “Add a custom domain” section
  3. Use your owns.it.com subdomain (e.g., yourname.owns.it.com) as the custom domain
  4. Return to this guide for the next steps

​
Create the Domain File

In the domains directory, create a new JSON file for your subdomain (domains/subdomain.json) and submit a pull request. This file should contain the following: 
{
    "owner": {
        "username": "your-github-username",
        "email": "your-email@example.com"
    },
    "records": {
        "CNAME": "your-sitename.pages.dev"
    }
}
Replace:
  • your-github-username with your GitHub username
  • your-email@example.com with your email address
  • your-sitename.pages.dev with your Cloudflare Pages site URL

​
Your website should be live!

After your pull request has been merged, your website should be accessible at your owns.it.com subdomain. The process may take a few minutes for DNS changes to propagate.

​
Troubleshooting

If your site isn’t working:
  1. Check that your domain file is correctly formatted
  2. Verify that your Cloudflare Pages site is deployed and accessible
  3. Wait a few minutes for DNS changes to propagate (this can take up to 48 hours)
  4. Check the custom domain settings in your Cloudflare Pages project
