Part 1: Website and domain
By the end of this page your system has its own address, admin.hub92prints.com, and your team can sign in to it from any laptop or iPad.

What you're setting up
You keep your domain at GoDaddy and keep paying for it there like always. You only change one setting at GoDaddy so Cloudflare can look after it. Your current website and your email keep working the whole time.
Have these ready
- Your GoDaddy username and password
- An email you check (codes get sent there)
- Your phone nearby
- About 45 minutes. Step 6 is mostly waiting, so you can take a break there.
What it costs
| Your domain at GoDaddy What you already pay each year. Nothing new. | No change |
| Cloudflare account and protection | $0 |
| Running the system on Cloudflare Free while testing. Their paid plan once the whole team uses it every day. | $0, then $5 a month |
| Team sign in, up to 50 people | $0 |
| Supplier connections (S&S, SanMar, AS Colour) | $0 |
No hosting, website builder or extra email to buy. If GoDaddy offers you any of those along the way, say no.
Find your domain in GoDaddy
Make sure hub92prints.com is yours and won't expire.
- Go to godaddy.com and click Sign In in the top right corner.
- Click your name in the top right, then My Products.
- Find the Domains section and look for hub92prints.com.
- Next to it, make sure Auto renew is turned on. This stops it from ever expiring by accident.
Good to know: admin.hub92prints.com is free. It's part of hub92prints.com, so there's nothing extra to buy.
Make a free Cloudflare account
Cloudflare is the company that will keep your system safe and running.
- Go to dash.cloudflare.com/sign-up.
- Type your business email and make a password. Click Sign up.
- Check your email for a message from Cloudflare and click the link inside to confirm.
- Write your Cloudflare password somewhere safe, like the same place you keep your GoDaddy one.
- Turn on the extra sign in code: click the little person icon in the top right, then Profile, then Authentication, then follow the steps for Two factor authentication. This sends a code to your phone when you sign in, so nobody else can get in.
Add hub92prints.com to Cloudflare
This tells Cloudflare which domain it's looking after.
- On the Cloudflare home page, click Add a domain. (Sometimes it says Onboard a domain. Same thing.)
- Type hub92prints.com and click Continue. Leave the other choices the way they are.
- When it asks for a plan, scroll down and pick Free ($0). Click Continue.
- Cloudflare shows a list of your current settings (it calls them "DNS records"). Look down the Type column for lines that say MX. Those are your email.
- Click Continue (or Continue to activation).
Write down Cloudflare's two names
Cloudflare gives you two "nameservers". You'll paste them into GoDaddy in the next step.
- Cloudflare now shows two lines that end in .ns.cloudflare.com. They look something like anna.ns.cloudflare.com and bob.ns.cloudflare.com. Yours will have different names.
- Type them in the boxes below, exactly as shown. This page remembers them for you.
Switch GoDaddy over to Cloudflare
This is the one setting you change at GoDaddy. Your domain stays yours, at GoDaddy.
- Back in GoDaddy, go to My Products and click hub92prints.com (or the DNS button next to it).
- Find the DNSSEC setting. If it's on, turn it off first. (If you don't see it, that's fine, skip this.)
- Find Nameservers and click Change Nameservers.
- Choose I'll use my own nameservers.
- Paste Nameserver 1 in the first box and Nameserver 2 in the second box. Delete any other boxes that have old names in them.
- Click Save. GoDaddy shows a warning. Click Continue. This is expected.
Wait for Cloudflare's "active" email
The switch takes a little while to go through. Good time for a coffee.
- Go back to Cloudflare and click Check nameservers now (if you see it).
- Wait for an email from Cloudflare that says hub92prints.com is now active. Usually under an hour. Sometimes up to a day.
- While you wait, your website and email keep working like normal.
Invite Steve to finish the install
Steve puts the system on admin.hub92prints.com and sets up the sign in. You don't need to do any of the technical part.
- In Cloudflare, on the left side, click Manage Account, then Members.
- Click Invite.
- Type logistics@sainttexas.com
- For the role, pick Administrator (or Super Administrator if that's the only full choice).
- Click Invite (or Continue) to send it.
- Text or email Steve that the invite is sent.
How your team signs in
No passwords for anyone to forget. Here's exactly what each person sees.
Sign in
1. They go to admin.hub92prints.com and type their email.
Check your email
2. A 6 number code lands in their email. They type it in.
Hi Chris
3. They land on only the screens you gave them.
- They stay signed in on that laptop or iPad for 30 days, then get a new code.
- You decide who can see what in Settings, Permissions. Add someone there and they can sign in right away.
- Remove someone and they're signed out everywhere.
- Maintenance: Steve keeps his own sign in (steve@sainttexas.com) so he can fix things or add features. It shows in your change log every time he signs in, and you can switch it off any time in Settings, Permissions.
Put it on every laptop and iPad
Once Steve says it's ready, make it one tap to open.
- On an iPad: open Safari, go to admin.hub92prints.com, tap the Share button (the square with an arrow pointing up), then Add to Home Screen. It now opens like an app.
- On a laptop: open Chrome, go to admin.hub92prints.com, then click the star at the end of the address bar to bookmark it.
- Have each person sign in once with their own email.
That's part 1
Next, connect your suppliers so stock and garment photos show up on their own. Go to part 2 →
