Managing domains and DNS records in Cloudflare

Once Cloudflare is connected, the Websites → Domains page shows every zone (domain) in your Cloudflare account.

To add a domain to Cloudflare from Turtini:
1. Click "Add Domain" on the Domains tab
2. Enter the apex domain (example.com — not www.example.com)
3. Cloudflare creates the zone and returns its assigned nameservers
4. Update your current registrar's nameservers to match — the zone stays "pending" until Cloudflare sees the change propagate

To manage DNS records for a zone, click into the zone and use the DNS tab. Turtini supports eight record types:
• A — IPv4 address
• AAAA — IPv6 address
• CNAME — alias to another hostname
• TXT — arbitrary text (SPF, DKIM, verification tokens)
• MX — mail exchanger
• NS — nameserver delegation
• SRV — service locator (VoIP, chat, etc.)
• CAA — certificate authority authorization

Each record has an optional Proxy toggle. When on, traffic is routed through Cloudflare's edge (HTTPS, caching, DDoS protection, Bot Fight Mode). When off, the record is DNS-only.

TTL defaults to Auto (Cloudflare-managed). You can override it per record when a specific TTL matters (e.g. fast DNS failover).

Bulk add — when another service (Stripe, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, AWS, etc.) gives you a list of DNS records to create, you don't have to add them one at a time. Click "Bulk add" on the DNS tab and either paste the table directly or drop a CSV file. Turtini auto-detects CSV vs. tab-separated input and maps common header names (Type, Name, Content/Value, TTL, Proxy). Before anything is sent to Cloudflare, you'll see a preview table where you can uncheck rows to skip, fix typos inline, and review what's about to change. Nothing reaches Cloudflare until you click the confirm button. Partial failures don't kill the batch — the summary screen lists any rows Cloudflare rejected so you can retry just those.

DNS changes save immediately — there's no "apply" step. If you misconfigure a record that breaks a live site, edit or delete it and the fix propagates within a few minutes.
