For most customers, adding and activating your domain on Cloudflare is straightforward.

The first step is always the same, to [create a Cloudflare account](/fundamentals/setup/account/create-account/).

Your next steps depend on whether you have a domain name, such as `example.com`.

## No domain

If you do not already have a domain name, purchase one through [Cloudflare Registrar](/registrar/get-started/register-domain/).

title: Check domain DNS

Once you [add and activate](/learning-paths/get-started-free/onboarding/add-and-activate/) your domain at Cloudflare, check that all your DNS records are set up correctly.

## Can you visit your website?

If your website already existed before adding it to Cloudflare, the easiest way to test DNS resolution is to try and visit your domain (`example.com`) or a subdomain (`www.example.com`).
