What this covers
Cloudflare can improve DNS management and security, but incorrect records can break websites, email, SSL, or app routing.
Before you start
Prepare the domain, zone ownership, current DNS records, email records, target service, and rollback expectation.
How to do it
- List existing A, CNAME, MX, TXT, and verification records.
- Confirm which records are website/app records and which support email.
- Preview DNS changes before applying them.
- Change one approved record at a time when possible.
- Verify website, SSL, and email after any DNS change.
What our team checks
Support reviews zone ownership, allowed records, DNS change preview, rollback plan, and whether a mutation capability is enabled.
Next step
Use the Domains page for read-only DNS visibility or ask support before a production DNS change.
