Follow these steps to onboard your website or application to Cloudflare. Once your domain is [active](/dns/zone-setups/reference/domain-status/#active), your web traffic will [proxy through Cloudflare](/fundamentals/concepts/how-cloudflare-works/#cloudflare-as-a-reverse-proxy), which speeds up and protects websites and services on your domain.

If you purchased your domain from a different provider, you can still connect the domain to Cloudflare. After you connect your domain to Cloudflare, Cloudflare will act as the [reverse proxy](/fundamentals/concepts/how-cloudflare-works/#cloudflare-as-a-reverse-proxy) and [DNS provider](/fundamentals/concepts/how-cloudflare-works/#cloudflare-as-a-dns-provider) for your site.

Cloudflare will become the primary [DNS provider](/fundamentals/concepts/how-cloudflare-works/#cloudflare-as-a-dns-provider) for your domain, meaning your [DNS records](/dns/concepts/#dns-records) are managed at Cloudflare, and we authoritatively answer all DNS queries.

If you do not already own a domain and plan to use Cloudflare for your [authoritative DNS](/dns/zone-setups/full-setup/), we highly recommend purchasing your domain name through [Cloudflare Registrar](/registrar/get-started/register-domain/). This simplifies your setup process by automatically using Cloudflare for authoritative DNS.
