# DNS

Connect your Cloudflare account to sync DNS and configure the proxy status for DNS records.

Realmac Hosting does not provide DNS hosting, allowing you to choose your preferred DNS provider to point your domain(s) to your Realmac Hosting account.

We strongly recommend using Cloudflare as your DNS provider though, because the Realmac Hosting Control Panel includes a built-in Cloudflare integration. This integration makes it easier to connect your domain to your hosting account while taking advantage of Cloudflare’s security and performance features, such as website optimization and protection against malicious activity.

In order to set up the Cloudflare DNS integration for your Realmac Hosting account, follow the below steps:

#### Step 1

Log into the [Realmac Hosting Control Panel](https://reactor.elementshosting.io/), click on `Integrations` in the sidebar menu, hover over the Cloudflare box, click the `Connect` button, then click the `Add` button.

#### Step 2

Enter the below:

* **Friendly Name** - A name to help you quickly differentiate your Cloudflare integrations if you have multiple domains/sites spanning multiple Cloudflare accounts.
* **API Token** - You can create an API token by visiting <https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens> and using the `Edit zone DNS` template. Your API token must have `Zone.Zone` and `Zone.DNS` edit permissions.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/hosting/realmac-hosting-control-panel/integrations/dns.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
