Partial CNAME for multiple subdomains

Website, Application, Performance DNS & Network
1

Hi

  1. I have mydomain.com domain hosted on Cloudflare Pro plan
  2. There is a subdomain sub.mydomain.com that is a CNAME to AWS CloudFront
    Above works properly!

Now I’d like to:

  1. Configure externally hosted (DNS that I can’t change) domain sub.externaldomain.com with CNAME to sub.mydomain.com
  2. Configure externally hosted (DNS that I can’t change) domain sub2.otherdomain.com with CNAME to sub.mydomain.com
    … repeat the above for the few more domains.

The question is what is the best way to achieve this? I’ve looked at partial CNAME setup but I’m not sure whether it is a way to go. From what I understand I’ll either have to:

  1. Switch mydomain.com to Business plan, convert it to CNAME DNS and I’ll be able to just add multiple CNAMES to it?

or

  1. For each external subdomain I’d have to add it to Cloudflare (eg. add sub2.otherdomain.com - not sure if I can add subdomains at all?) and then purchase Business plan for this subdomain and convert to CNAME DNS?

Welcome to the Cloudflare Community. :logodrop:

The scenario you describe sounds more like a Cloudflare for SaaS scenario.

I was not aware that there is such a thing as Cloudflare for SaaS. Seems to be a perfect fit! Thank you
