A record. makes not @ x.x.x.x but domain name.com x.x.x

DNS making with @ x.x.x.x gives not @ x.x.x.x but domain name.com x.x.x.x

Any idea ?

@ is shorthand for the domain name. It’s just easier to type, but the zone file will contain the actual hostname.

Cloudflare will translate your @ input to your root domain name. This is how it works.

And, the input field placeholder already gives you the hint:

If you still don’t believe it, read RFC1035 and look at the usage of @:
