# Domain name, DNS and SSL

> Save your domain name to your license, complete Cloudflare DNS logs and SSL settings.

Connect your domain name to Zonely to reach your visitors from your own domain. You can add DNS records with the following steps and prepare HTTPS connection.

## Are you ready for domain name?

**1. Prepare your domain name**

Use a domain name registered on your own name. If you haven’t yet received [domain name providers](https://docs.zonely.gen.tr/en/getting-started/domain-providers.md) Check out. You can use the domain name you receive from IHS, Turkcommerce.net, GoDaddy, Cloudflare Registrar or another provider.

**2. Check the domain name in your license**

Your Zonely account **Name of the domain registered in your license** Check the information. If a different address looks [change domain name](https://docs.zonely.gen.tr/en/getting-started/licenses.md#alan-adini-degistir). Domain name `https://` and `www` type without adding.

## Cloudflare and nameserver connection

[Cloudflare account](https://dash.cloudflare.com/) Login and proceed to where you get your domain name.

> [tab] I bought from another provider
>
> **1. Add your domain to Cloudflare**
>
> Add your domain name **Free** Select plan. Review existing DNS records.
>
> **2. Change nameserver addresses**
>
> Copy two nameserver addresses that Cloudflare gives you the domain name. Company who purchased domain name **Nameserver / DNS Servers** enter and save these addresses in the section.
>
> Write these addresses not as the CNAME goal, but the nameserver areas of the provider.
>
> **3. Wait for the effectiveization of the domain name**
>
> Domain name in Cloudflare **Active** When you have DNS logs. **Pending** If the nameserver change has not been completed yet.
>
> You don’t need to move domain name to Cloudflare; it can be registered in your existing provider. [Nameserver link guide →](https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/full-setup/setup/)

> [tab] I purchased my domain through Cloudflare Registrar
>
> Your domain name already uses Cloudflare nameserver addresses. Open the domain name in the same account **DNS → Records** Switch to the section; you don’t need to change nameserver in another company.

## Add two CNAME records

Select your domain name on Cloudflare **DNS → Records → record Add** Add two records below:

| Genre | Name | Target / Target | Proxy status |
| - | - | - | - |
| CNAME | `@` | `premium.zonely.gen.tr` | **Proxied** — orange cloud |
| CNAME | `www` | `premium.zonely.gen.tr` | **Proxied** — orange cloud |

`@` represents the root domain, while `www` represents the address beginning with `www.`. If your Zonely connection helper shows a different target, use that value.

> [!NOTE]
>
> `@` or `www` Edit corresponding registration if there is a confectionary A, AAAA or CNAME registration for example. Protect records of email and other services.
