Create zone apex record

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

To do this, create a corresponding A, AAAA, or CNAME record using @ for the Name.

Example

TypeNameIPv4 addressProxy status
A@192.0.2.1Proxied

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.
