* **Manually enter DNS record**: To add records from scratch.
* **Upload a DNS zone file**: To upload records from a file.

Cloudflare will display a list of DNS records. Here, you can add new records or edit existing ones. Once done, click **Continue to activation.**

Cloudflare will provide **two Name Server records**. Copy these two Name Servers and replace the existing Name Servers at your domain provider. If you're unsure how to update Name Servers, contact your domain provider for assistance.

***Note:** Once the Name Servers are pointed to Cloudflare, DNS configurations at your domain management panel will no longer be effective. All records must be created/updated within your Cloudflare account.*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.shopone.io/english/domain-setup/pointing-a-domain-from-some-popular-domain-providers/add-a-domain-to-cloudflare.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
