Can I register a domain and still use 3rd party nameservers

I am thinking about using Cloudflare as a domain registrar but I need the ability to be able to assign third party custom nameservers. I can’t be stuck with Cloudflare for DNS.

The domain in question is already purchased. I just need to decide if I want to transfer it to Cloudflare as my new registrar.

Cloudflare Registrar MUST use Cloudflare Nameservers.

Where does it say that? I did a quick once over and I didn’t find it but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

It’s just hard to believe. I’ve never heard of a registrar not allowing you to specify custom nameservers until now.

6.1 in the Domain Registration Agreement

6.1 Nameservers . Registrant agrees to use Cloudflare’s nameservers. REGISTRANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT MAY NOT CHANGE THE NAMESERVERS ON THE REGISTRAR SERVICES, AND THAT IT MUST TRANSFER TO A THIRD PARTY REGISTRAR IF IT WISHES TO CHANGE NAMESERVERS.

Cloudflare’s registrar is more aimed as an additional service to existing customers rather than a standalone registrar.
