Introducing CNAME Flattening: RFC-Compliant CNAMEs at a Domain's Root

Cloudflare has introduced a new feature called CNAME Flattening that allows users to safely use a CNAME record as their root record in the company's DNS without triggering any error conditions. This is particularly useful for those using cloud-based services and prefer not to have a "www" subdomain. The feature enables greater flexibility by allowing users to point their domain to an IP address, even if it changes due to load balancing or other factors. CNAME Flattening has been tested extensively over the last few months and is now available for all Cloudflare DNS users.
