# Connect a Cloudflare domain to your app
> Point a domain managed in Cloudflare to your Zite app by adding the required DNS records.
## Before you start
You will need:
* Access to the Zite app you want to connect
* Access to the Cloudflare account that manages your domain
* Permission to edit DNS records for that domain
Custom domains are available for apps once they are [shared to the web](/help/platform/access/share-to-web).
## Connect your domain
Open your Zite app settings and go to the custom domain section. Enter the domain you want to use, then note the DNS records Zite asks you to add.
Log in to Cloudflare, choose your domain, then open `DNS` and go to `Records`.
Click `Add record`.
Add an `A` record with these values:
| Field | Value |
| ------------ | --------------- |
| Type | `A` |
| Name | `@` |
| IPv4 address | `34.214.61.222` |
| Proxy status | `DNS only` |
| TTL | `1 hr` |
This points your root domain, like `acme.com`, to Zite.
Click `Add record` again, then add a `CNAME` record with these values:
| Field | Value |
| ------------ | ---------------- |
| Type | `CNAME` |
| Name | `www` |
| Target | `sites.zite.com` |
| Proxy status | `DNS only` |
| TTL | `1 hr` |
This points `www.acme.com` to your Zite app.
Click `Save` in Cloudflare after adding each record.
Return to Zite and click `I've added the records`. Zite will check the DNS records and connect your domain once they are visible.
## If Zite still shows DNS issues
DNS changes can take a little while to update. Most domains connect within a few minutes, but it can sometimes take longer.
If the domain is not verified yet, check the following:
* The `A` record uses `@` as the name and `34.214.61.222` as the IPv4 address.
* The `CNAME` record uses `www` as the name and `sites.zite.com` as the target.
* Both records are set to `DNS only` in Cloudflare.
* There is not another `A` record for `@` pointing somewhere else.
* There is not another `CNAME` record for `www` pointing somewhere else.
* The records were saved in the DNS manager for the same domain you entered in Zite.
Once both records are correct, click `I've added the records` in Zite again.
