# Preparing for Setup
Currently Nassella requires users to set up the following three services in order to take advantage of Nassella's capabilities. If you use a different service to accomplish these actions and would like the ability to use Nassella with it, please contact us here: [https://www.nassella.org/contact/](https://www.nassella.org/contact/)
## [Cloudflare](https://www.cloudflare.com)
Cloudflare is a global internet infrastructure and security company. Nassella uses Cloudflare for [DNS](a "A Domain Name System (DNS) acts as a phonebook for your domain, translating your website's human-readable name (like example.com) into a machine-readable IP address.")
1. Before setting up Nassella, set up a website domain on Cloudflare. You can follow Cloudflare's documentation [here](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/manage-domains/) to connect an existing domain, transfer an existing domain, or buy a new domain to run with Cloudflare.
2. Take note of your Zone ID and Account ID. Nassella will need these values during setup. To find these values navigate to the Cloudflare domains overview page, select the domain, scroll down, and note the values in the API information box.

3. Setup an API token for any domain that you want to use with Nassella. Follow cloudlfare's documentation [here](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/api/get-started/create-token/). Use the "Edit Zone DNS" template and select the desired domain.
4. Take note of the API Token.
