Connect Cloudflare to Vercel
Step-by-step DNS configuration with exact records to add.
1
Log into Cloudflare
Go to the Cloudflare dashboard and select your domain.
2
Navigate to DNS settings
Click "DNS" in the left sidebar, then "Records".
Note
If Cloudflare is also your host, you may not need separate host DNS records. This guide assumes Cloudflare is your registrar only.
3
Add A Record for root domain
This points your root domain (e.g., yoursite.com) to Vercel's servers.
| Type | Name | Value | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | @ | 76.76.21.21 | Auto |
4
Add CNAME for www subdomain
This points www.yoursite.com to Vercel's DNS.
| Type | Name | Value | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNAME | www | cname.vercel-dns.com | Auto |
5
Add your domain in Vercel
Go to your Vercel project → Settings → Domains → type your domain → click "Add".
Note
Vercel will verify the DNS records. It may take a few minutes for verification to complete.

Common mistakes
- Leaving default parking page DNS records — delete them before adding new ones
- Not waiting for propagation (can take up to 48 hours, usually 5-30 minutes)
- Proxied (orange cloud) vs DNS-only (gray cloud) — some hosts require DNS-only mode
