If you registered your domain name through Cloudflare, or your domain points to Cloudflare's nameservers, you can delegate a subdomain to Release's nameservers.
Cloudflare does not currently support external nameservers for domains registered through Cloudflare Registrar, so this guide is limited to using a subdomain on Release only.
To add a subdomain to your Release account, follow the steps to create a domain. Take note of the nameservers displayed by Release, as you'll use these in the next step.
To set up DNS delegation for a subdomain in Cloudflare, log in to your Cloudflare dashboard and select the domain you want to use.
Then follow these steps:
Click on DNS in the sidebar.
Click on Add record.
Select "NS" from the "Type" dropdown.
Enter the subdomain in the "Name" field.
Enter a nameserver hostname in the "Nameserver" field.
Click Save.
Repeat steps 2 through 6 for each nameserver.
After creating a DNS record for each nameserver, the Cloudflare DNS records should look like this:
You can find more information and detailed instructions for setting up subdomain delegation in Cloudflare over at Cloudflare's Delegating Subdomains Outside of Cloudflare page.
