How to Add DNS Records for Your Custom Domain
From within your Cloudflare account, select the Domain you wish to access.
At the top of the page, click the DNS tab.
Click + Add Record located at the top of the list of DNS records.
For the Type, choose CNAME.
For the Name, add “www”
For the Target, enter “s.multiscreensite.com”
For Proxy Status, select DNS Only.
Leave TTL as the default setting.
Click Save.
Click + Add Record located at the top of the list of DNS records.
For the Type, choose A.
For the Name, enter “@”
For the Target, enter “35.172.94.1”
For Proxy Status, select DNS Only.
Leave TTL as the default setting.
Click Save.
Click + Add Record located at the top of the list of DNS records.

With this process complete, your custom domain will now point to your website. While this may happen quickly, it can often take up to 48 hours for your registrar to propagate these new DNS settings. Please allow for the full period before attempting to edit your settings again. If your website still does not appear after this period, please contact your registrar for more information.
