Why a CNAME? A CNAME (canonical name) record aliases your subdomain to another hostname, letting you delegate traffic while retaining your root DNS in Cloudflare.

ns1.cloudflare.comandns2.cloudflare.com).Log in to your registrar’s dashboard, replace the existing NS records with Cloudflare’s, and save.
Return to Cloudflare and click Continue.
