Create a root domain record

When you add a domain to Cloudflare, you may also need to create a DNS record for your root domain (example.com).

To do this, you would create a corresponding A, AAAA, or CNAME record for your root domain (specified by using @ for the Name).

​​ Domain redirects

Once you create a domain, you may want to route that traffic to other places.

For more guidance, refer to Redirect domain to subdomain or Redirect one domain to another .

​​ Get free SSL certificates

Cloudflare offers free, unshared, publicy trusted Universal SSL certificates to all Cloudflare domains.
