Change Cloudflare Assigned Nameservers

Hello Community. I just registered a new domain through Cloudflare and Cloudflare assigned me 2 nameservers. I am hosting my website on groovepages and they want me to change my Cloudflare nameservers to a different value. How do I accomplish that?

Welcome to the Cloudflare Community. :logodrop:

You don’t. When using Cloudflare registrar you must use the nameservers provided by your Cloudflare account.

6.1 in the Domain Registration Agreement states that you cannot change the nameservers:

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.

Domain Registration Agreement | Cloudflare

You’ll either need to use Cloudflare’s DNS and get a list of the required records from your host, or transfer your domain elsewhere to change the nameservers.
