Can't fully update AWS NS to Cloudflare NS

What is the name of the domain?

pdxzee.com

What is the error message?

You cannot specify fewer than 2 nameservers and Hostname cannot be entered more than once

What is the issue you’re encountering

Can’t fully update AWS NS to Cloudflare NS (AWS requires 4 name servers)

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

Logged into AWS->Route 53->Domain Registration->pdxzee->Edit Name Servers
Pasted CF name servers into two slots.

  • tried to delete the 2 remaining AWS name servers and saved:
    You cannot specify fewer than 2 nameservers.
  • tried copying the CF name servers into those 2 slots (duplicates):
    Hostname cannot be entered more than once

What feature, service or problem is this related to?

Nameservers

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

So now at AWS I have 2 CF name servers and 2 AWS name servers. I have my site loaded to CF Pages and it works pdxzee pages dev
lookup icann org/en shows Amazon Registrar, Inc. and dig NS pdxzee com shows both CF name servers, but it’s not working.

I started this process around 10PM PST.

Interesting that CF only offers 2 NS, but Amazon requires 4 NS and from my research, nothing indicates that this is the way.

I must be doing something horribly wrong, something I missed.

Screenshot of the error

I’ve not registered domains with Amazon before. Have you tried adding the Cloudflare nameservers as one operation and then removing your existing nameservers as a second operation?

Here are their instructions and it appears there’a link to contact them if you still have issues.

Thank you for that link.
Unfortunately, it said nothing about not enough name servers. Since the transfer didn’t happen - wasn’t listed under Manage Domains and under Account home, the domain listed with status of (Invalid nameservers), so I just used the drop down to “cancel domain”. Replaced the aws name servers back to what they were and it’s like it didn’t happen.
