How to Point a Custom Domain to your website in Orihost

Using Custom Domains with Cloudflare Tunnel

Want to use your own professional domain (like bot.yourname.com) instead of a generic IP? Using a Cloudflare Tunnel is the most secure and modern way to bridge your Orihost server to the web.

Step 1: Create a Cloudflare Tunnel

1. Log in to your Cloudflare Zero Trust Dashboard.
2. Go to Network -> Connectors.
3. Click Create a Tunnel and give it a name.
4. You will see an installation command like cloudflared.exe service install ey....

CRITICAL: Copy only the long code starting with ey.... This is your Tunnel Token.

Step 2: Configure Orihost Startup

1. Go to your Orihost Server Panel.
2. Navigate to the Startup tab.
3. Find the field labeled Cloudflared Tunnel Token and paste your token there.

Step 3: Route Your Domain

1. Back in Cloudflare, go to Published Applications.
2. Click Add a Public Hostname.
3. Select your domain and desired subdomain.
4. Under Service, set the type to HTTP.
5. In the URL field, use localhost:YOUR_PORT (replace YOUR_PORT with the actual port assigned to your server).
