Congratulations on your new company. I'd be happy to help you with the standard day 1 setup for your domains on Cloudflare.

Here's a high-level overview of the standard day 1 setup:
For more detailed instructions, I recommend checking out the Cloudflare documentation, specifically the Getting Started guide.

- Set up DNS records: Create DNS records for your domain, such as A, CNAME, and MX records, to point to your website, email, and other services.
- Enable SSL/TLS encryption: Enable SSL/TLS encryption for your domain to secure your website and protect user data.
- Configure security settings: Configure basic security settings, such as firewall rules and threat protection, to protect your website from common threats.

LAre you looking for anything specific? You don't need to do anything until you have a website, email etc.
I'd recommend creating 2 TXT DNS records though, names @ and * and value "v=spf1 -all". This explicitly prevents others from using your domain for email.
