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.
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.
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.

Thank you very much. Problem resolved.
