Setting up Cloudflare with(out) Bluehost

[ad_1]

I want to set up Cloudflare for my WP site. Bluehost of course recommends using its cPanel to connect automatically. But I’m changing hosts soon and I also like having everything separate.

This CF “con” Bluehost mentions has me confused.

> **Limitations of the Cloudflare System**
> Currently, requests must be directed to www.$domain instead of $domain (which means you may need to make some configuration changes).

I’ve read this [reddit post]) and this [Cloudflare forum post]), but I’m still unclear on the process. My domain isn’t a www (although i’ve got a www host record pointing to my non-www domain in CNAME).

Why can’t CF requests direct to my non-www domain? And what configuration changes would I need top make?

Thanks in advance!
