DNS records
DNS records make resources available on your domain, and allow you to configure services such as email.
DNSSEC
DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) adds cryptographic signatures to your DNS records, preventing anyone else from redirecting traffic intended for your domain.
Cloudflare also supports Multi-signer DNSSEC.
CNAME flattening
CNAME flattening delivers better performance and allows you to add a CNAME record at your apex domain (example.com
). Paid accounts can choose to flatten all CNAME records on their domain.
Refer to DNS features and availability for a complete list of features and their availability according to different Cloudflare plans.
Before you can start using Cloudflare DNS you must first have a domain. Buy and renew your domain at cost with Cloudflare Registrar.
