I’m looking to authenticate my [hgimpactodigital.com](http://hgimpactodigital.com) domain hosted on Brevo and need your help setting up these DNS records:

Brevo Code  
DKIM Record  
DMARC Record"

Brevo is an email service, they don’t host domain names. InfinityFree is your host, Brevo is your email provider.

Free hosting does not support SKIM/DMARC records, but since you have a custom domain you can use an external DNS service to bypass this restriction, I recommend cloudflare

> Hello, I will show you how to easily set up Cloudflare, Edit Records, and Troubleshoot with images! PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING!!! Cloudflare cannot be used on free subdomains from InfinityFree. You can use Cloudflare on Custom Domains ([yoursite.com](http://yoursite.com)) and with Custom Sub-Domains ([subdomain.yoursite.com](http://subdomain.yoursite.com)). A video tutorial can be found at the end of this guide, should you get stuck. You must connect your domain to your InfinityFree account first.

What is the advantage of using Cloudflare?  
Is domain hosting free with Cloudflare or do we continue to pay our provider for hosting?

Cloudflare is not a webhosting provider (they can host websites, but they only support select technologies, and it’s more complicated to setup and maintain).

Cloudflare’s main use is to manage your DNS, InfinityFree stays as your hosting provider. The advantage is that you get full control over your DNS zone, IF does not support that.
