Default DNS records for Cloudflare-hosted domain?
I’ve transferred a domain to Cloudflare. It doesn’t have any DNS records because all I want to do is 301 redirect any web traffic to a different URL. However, it’s not working, and in the DNS section of my Cloudflare dashboard I just get this warning:
What should I use as A/CNAME records for my www and root domains, given I don’t actually want to route traffic anywhere? I just want a HTTP request to come in, and Cloudflare redirect the user to a different URL based on Page Rules?
Also, slightly-related side question: what is the difference between Page Rules and Redirect Rules (beta)?
Required steps to complete zone set-up
Add an A, AAAA, or CNAME record for www so that www.mcbwebdesign.co.uk will resolve.
