Once you have added a domain (also known as a *zone*) to Cloudflare, that domain will receive two assigned authoritative nameservers.



Before your domain can begin using Cloudflare for DNS resolution, you need to [add these nameservers](https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/full-setup/setup/#update-your-nameservers) at your registrar. Make sure DNSSEC **is disabled** at this point.

Warning

If your domain is particularly sensitive to downtime, review our suggestions to [minimize downtime](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/performance/minimize-downtime/).
