Cloudflare offers free services that help you host a domain DNS and setup page rules for redirecting visitors. A standard domain redirect, from A to B doesn't require Cloudflare (just ask one of our team to help you), however the service from Cloudflare is particularly useful if you want the visitors of your old domain to visit a specific page you've setup on your new store.
Example Redirect Setup
I want customers of www.brand-a.com to arrive to the specific Brand A welcome page on my new site for Brand B. So I want all visitors from www.brand-a.com to redirect to www.brand-b.com/welcome-to-the-new-store
