Because of this, all of our shared hosting servers are prepared to serve this feature for websites. In this guide, you will learn how to enable the protection for your domain in Cloudflare system.

1. For Railgun to be enabled, your domain and “www.” sub-domain records should be created and pointed to one of our shared hosting plans IP’s. You can check this in the DNS section of the CloudFlare:

2. There should be at least 2 records created in your DNS zone. One of them should be for your main domain and another one for your www. sub-domain:

3. If the records are created successfully, you can proceed with the activation of Railgun in the Speed section of the CloudFlare system.

4. “Railgun State” should be set as Active by the slider on the right being set as “On”.

5. In addition to check if your settings are correct, you can press the “Test” button and the message “Railgun test results for success”. Other test details would also be provided that are not relevant.

This is it. Now you have set your website with Railgun, which should speed up access to your website from all over the world!
