Description:
In this tutorial, you will learn how to point a custom domain from Cloudflare to your Hostinger VPS so you can open n8n at a clean URL like flow.yourdomain.com instead of a raw IP address. This is an updated version of an earlier tutorial with a better approach — you only need to point your subdomains to your VPS, not your root domain.
----------------------------------------
What You Will Learn:
----------------------------------------
Subdomains explained: how one domain creates unlimited clean URLs
VPS IP address: where to find it in Hostinger hPanel
docker-compose.yml: updating DOMAIN_NAME and SUBDOMAIN for Traefik
Cloudflare A record: pointing your subdomain to your VPS IP
Wildcard A record: one Cloudflare record that covers every future subdomain
SSL fix: changing Full Strict to Full in Cloudflare to resolve certificate errors
Multiple domains: using the Traefik router rule to map more than one URL to n8n
