Subdomain setup
When you use a subdomain setup, you can manage the Cloudflare configurations for one or more subdomains separately from those associated with your apex domain.

You might use this setup when you want to share access to a specific subdomain’s settings with different teams, but have stricter controls on your apex domain. For example, a subdomain setup could allow your documentation team to manage the Cloudflare configuration for docs.example.com
, while preventing them from adjusting any settings on example.com
.
Subdomain setups are also useful when different subdomains require entirely different settings. For example, you may have different requirements for docs.example.com
, blog.example.com
, and community.example.com
.
