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.

The information below applies to a [full DNS setup](/dns/zone-setups/full-setup) which is the most common configuration.

These instructions are tailored to customers using a [full DNS setup](/dns/zone-setups/full-setup) (the most common configuration). If you are using a [partial setup](/dns/zone-setups/partial-setup/) or [secondary setup](/dns/zone-setups/zone-transfers/), your onboarding process will be different.

To use Cloudflare as a reverse proxy but maintain your DNS provider, refer to [partial setup](/dns/zone-setups/partial-setup/). To use one more DNS providers, refer to or [DNS Zone transfers](/dns/zone-setups/zone-transfers/).

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.
