Recommended Hosting Setup

Hosting Setup

Existing Hosting

We do not recommend using traditional hosting services like NameCheap, GoDaddy, etc.., as they often stop cURL (without notifying you) when your traffic volume increases. cURL is used for making requests to our API and if cURL stops working – no request will be made to our API,  and you’ll not see any traffic in your click log.

While you might still be able to use your existing hosting, we do not recommend it! Traditional hosting is good only for simple websites, not for media buying or advertising campaigns.

The setup described below is not crucial for Trafficshiel.io to function well, but it’s highly recommended that you use it for maximum performance, compatibility, and security.

DNS

We highly recommend using Cloudflare for managing DNS.

Sign up for Cloudflare (free plan, recommended) and keep it ready for the next step! This connects your domain name to your server’s IP.

SSL

One of the most important components of online business is creating a trusted environment where potential customers feel confident. This is highly recommended for setting up a cloaking campaign.
