Zone setups
When using Cloudflare DNS, you have three main options for setup:
- Full setup (most common): Use Cloudflare as your primary DNS provider and manage your DNS records on Cloudflare.
- Partial (CNAME) setup: Keep your primary DNS provider and only use Cloudflare’s reverse proxy for individual subdomains.
- Zone transfers: Use Cloudflare and another DNS provider together across your entire zone to increase availability and fault tolerance. DNS records will be transferred between providers using AXFR or IXFR.
