I plan to setup a new website. The whole website will be on your Discourse forum standard plan.

My question is where can my apex domain name be hosted? Now the domain name is in [bluehost.com](http://bluehost.com/). Can I transfer it to Discourse,or I should transfer it to some where else like Cloudflare?

Thank you,

Frank

The good news is that your Domain Registrar can be anyone; it does not matter.

Choose the entity you find most comfortable using.

CDCK/Discourse is not a Registrar, FYI.

Similarly, your DNS host can be anyone.

Since you’re already (presumably) set up on Bluehost for DNS, there’s no need to migrate.

Very good. Is there any difference between my domain name on Bluehost and Cloudflare? For example, Cloudflare is faster?

CF _might_ have faster DNS but I would not expect a measurable difference in actual site performance as DNS is a tiny fraction of that.
