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).
| Type | Name | IPv4 address | Proxy status |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | @ | 192.0.2.1 | Proxied |
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.
