 ### CNAME flattening
 
-A partial (`CNAME`) setup requires the proxied hostname to be pointed to Cloudflare via a `CNAME` record. Since [`CNAME` records are not allowed on the zone apex](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1912#section-2.4) (`example.com`), you can only proxy your zone apex to Cloudflare if your authoritative DNS provider supports [`CNAME` Flattening](https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-cname-flattening-rfc-compliant-cnames-at-a-domains-root/).

 If your authoritative DNS provider does not support CNAME Flattening, redirect its traffic — for example, with an `.htaccess` file — to a subdomain proxied to Cloudflare. Alternatively, you can use [static IPs or BYOIPs](/fundamentals/concepts/cloudflare-ip-addresses/#customize-cloudflare-ip-addresses).
