How to set up a Cloudflare domain on Hotmart...

If you registered your domain with Cloudflare, you can connect it to Hotmart Pages and use a custom address for the pages created on the platform. This setup allows you to replace the default Pages URL with your own domain, making your communication more professional and aligned with your brand.

In this article, you’ll learn the prerequisites for using a Cloudflare domain on Hotmart Pages and how to configure it step by step, including creating the necessary records directly in your provider’s panel.

How does using a Cloudflare domain on Hotmart Pages work?

A domain is your page’s address on the internet—that is, what appears after “www” in the browser bar. By using a domain configured in Cloudflare, such as yourdomain.com, you can link it to pages created in Hotmart Pages and replace the default address provided by the platform.

Once properly configured, the domain will point to Hotmart Pages, and your pages will be available at this new address, with an SSL security certificate automatically enabled.

Before proceeding with the setup, it’s important to consider a few points:

To add a custom domain, you must have an active Hotmart Pages and Send subscription. If you are using the free version, you can continue using the default address provided by the platform or check the available plans.
A domain cannot point to more than one service at the same time. It must be pointed exclusively to Hotmart Pages.

What should I check before adding my Cloudflare domain?

Before starting the setup, make sure that the domain:

Is active in Cloudflare.
Was properly registered on the platform.
Is not being used in another service or hosting.

If your domain contains special characters, such as accents or tildes, you will need to complete a pre-configuration before adding it to Hotmart Pages. This process involves converting the domain into a format accepted by the platform.

❯ How to convert a domain with special characters?

Open the domain in your browser.
Copy the address shown in the navigation bar.
Paste this content into a Notepad file.
The domain will automatically be displayed in the converted format.

How to add my Cloudflare domain to Hotmart Pages?

After verifying that your domain is valid, you can add it to your account. Follow the steps below:

Access your Hotmart account via the link https://app.hotmart.com/
In the side menu, click on Marketing and then on Page creator.
Within Hotmart Pages, click on Domains.
Select the Set up domain option.
Enter your custom domain, without “https://” or “www”.
Click Set up and wait for the domain to be added to your account.

After completing this step, the domain will be linked to Hotmart Pages. Next, you’ll need to configure the records directly in the Cloudflare panel.

How to configure domain records in Cloudflare?

After adding the domain to Hotmart Pages, you need to create records in the Cloudflare DNS Zone so the address connects correctly to the platform and allows your pages to be displayed.

In some cases, the domain may not yet be registered in Cloudflare as the DNS manager. When this happens, this step must be completed before creating the records. This guidance applies only if you are not yet using Cloudflare to manage your domain’s DNS.

❯ How do I register my domain in Cloudflare?

If your domain is not yet set up in Cloudflare, follow the steps below to register it and enable access to the DNS Zone:

Access your account at dash.cloudflare.com/login.
In the side menu, click on Account Home (Home).
Enter your domain (without “www”) and click Continue.
In the side menu, select DNS and then Records.
Check if there are two NS-type records. If so, remove both.
During the Nameservers setup step, Cloudflare will display the servers that should be used.
Copy this information and configure the nameservers on the platform where the domain was purchased. Each registrar has a specific place for this setting.

After making this change, wait for the transition period, which may take up to 2 hours. After this period, the domain will be ready to receive the necessary records to work with Hotmart Pages.

With the domain already registered and active in Cloudflare, you can proceed to create the DNS records required for integration with Hotmart Pages.

Which records do I need to create in Cloudflare?

With the domain already registered in Cloudflare, it’s time to configure the DNS records. To do this, follow the steps below:

Access your account at dash.cloudflare.com/login
Select the domain you want to configure.
In the side menu, click on DNS and then Records.
Click Add record to insert the following entries:

Entry 1 – Main record

Type: CNAME
Name: @
Target: connect.pages.hotmart.com
Proxy status: disabled

Entry 2 – Redirect with “www””

Type: CNAME
Name: www
Target: your main domain, without “www”
Proxy status: disabled

After adding the entries, click Save. DNS propagation may take up to 72 hours, depending on Cloudflare.

Frequently asked questions

❯ What should I do if the domain does not work after setup?

DNS propagation may take up to 72 hours. If the domain is not working after this period, check:

If the DNS records were created correctly;
If there are no duplicate or conflicting records;
If propagation has already been completed by the provider.

If the issue persists, contact Cloudflare support. If necessary, you can also contact Hotmart support by sending screenshots of the configured records.

❯ Do I need to install an SSL certificate on my domain?

No. Hotmart Pages automatically provides an SSL certificate, ensuring secure access to your pages via https.

❯ Can I use the same domain on Hotmart Pages and Hotmart Club?

No. A domain cannot be used simultaneously on both platforms. However, you can create a subdomain for Hotmart Club and keep the main domain on Hotmart Pages.

❯ I already published pages before setting up the domain. Do I need to make any changes?

Yes. For those pages to be accessed using the custom domain, you need to update the address (URL) of each one and republish them after the domain propagation. To learn how, see this article.
