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 an IP address resolution record (A, AAAA, or CNAME) using @ for the Name, as in the following example.

Type	Name	IPv4 address	Proxy status
A	`@`	`192.0.2.1`	Proxied

Log in to the Cloudflare dashboard ↗ and select your account and zone.
Go to DNS > Records and select Add record.
Select A, AAAA, or CNAME as the record Type, according to your needs:
- To point to an IPv4 address, select A, use your zone apex (@) for the record Name, and insert the IPv4 address in the respective field.
- To point to an IPv6 address, select AAAA, use your zone apex (@) for the record Name, and insert the IPv6 address in the respective field.
- To point to a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) ↗ (such as your-site.host.example.com), select CNAME, use your zone apex (@) for the record Name, and insert the fully qualified domain name in the Target field.
Specify the Proxy status and TTL according to your needs.
Select Save to confirm.

For field definitions, refer to the API documentation (visible once you select the record type under the request body specification).

To point to an IPv4 address, select A Record, use your zone apex (@) for the field name, and use the IPv4 address for the field content.
To point to an IPv6 address, select AAAA Record, use your zone apex (@) for the field name, and use the IPv6 address for the field content.
To point to a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) ↗ (such as your-site.host.example.com), select CNAME Record, use your zone apex (@) for the field name, and use the fully qualified domain name for the field content.
