 > [!CAUTION]
 > When you use the free, managed certificate and configure a CNAME record with your DNS provider, make sure that it resolves to the default API Management service hostname (`<apim-service-name>.azure-api.net`). Currently, API Management doesn't automatically renew the certificate if the CNAME record doesn't resolve to the default API Management hostname. For example, if you're using the free, managed certificate and you use Cloudflare as your DNS provider, make sure that DNS proxy isn't enabled on the CNAME record.

 ### TXT record 
 
 When enabling the free, managed certificate for API Management, also configure a TXT record in your DNS zone to establish your ownership of the domain name.

 ### CNAME record
 
-Configure a CNAME record that points from your custom domain name (for example, `api.contoso.com`) to your API Management service hostname (for example, `yourapim-service-name`.azure-api.net`). A CNAME record is more stable than an A record in case the IP address changes.

 > Some domain registrars only allow you to map subdomains when using a CNAME record, such as `www.contoso.com`, and not root names, such as `contoso.com`. For more information on CNAME records, see the documentation provided by your registrar or [IETF Domain Names - Implementation and Specification](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1035).
