Cloudflare subdomain delegation

Basically, subdomain delegation allows different individuals, teams, or organizations to manage different subdomains of a site.

DNS delegation is not possible for Cloudflare domains using a partial setup.

To delegate a subdomain such as internal.example.com, tell DNS resolvers where to find the zone file:

1.Firstly, log in to the Cloudflare dashboard and select your account.

2. Then, select the domain that contains the subdomain to be delegated.

3. Next, go to DNS.

4. Create NS records for the subdomain. For example:

• internal.example.com NS ns1.externalhost.com
• internal.example.com NS ns2.externalhost.com
• internal.example.com NS ns3.externalhost.com

A records for the subdomain are only required as glue records for nameservers that are located in the subdomain of the current zone that is being delegated.

5. If the delegated nameserver has DNSSEC enabled, add the DS record in the Cloudflare DNS app.

Subdomains are highly customizable and can be used as separate sites that have separate WordPress installations.

They can have separate DNS records from the main site but cannot have separate nameservers from the main site.
