Add DNS records at Cloudflare

These are the steps for Cloudflare. For what the records do and how to check the setup afterwards, see Subdomain setup.

Datahash tells you which record type to use and gives you the values. Follow the matching section below and enter the values you were given.

Both record types start the same way in Cloudflare, so these screenshots cover either one.

Adding NS records

Sign in to Cloudflare.
Use the search at the top, search for DNS and open it.
Choose the website the records belong to.
Click Add record.
Choose NS as the type, enter the name and one nameserver value from the Datahash setup window, and save.

You will have been given four nameserver values. Repeat the last two steps until all four records exist. A delegation with one of the four missing looks complete in the dashboard and does not resolve.
