Cloudflare hasn’t verified my domain even after correct nameservers and 48+ hours

What is the name of the domain?

paddockone.online

What is the error message?

No error message appears, but the domain stays in “Pending” status.

What is the issue you’re encountering

I added my domain paddockone.online to Cloudflare and correctly updated the nameservers at my registrar (Hostinger) more than 48 hours ago. WHOIS lookup confirms that the nameservers ara.ns.cloudflare.com and joaquin.ns.cloudflare.com are active, but Cloudflare still shows the domain as “Pending”. It hasn’t been verified yet.

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

Confirmed the correct nameservers in Hostinger.
Used WHOIS to verify propagation (nameservers are correct).
Clicked “Check Nameservers” multiple times in Cloudflare.
Waited more than 48 hours.
Checked DNS configuration, everything is correct.

What feature, service or problem is this related to?

Nameservers

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

Add a new domain to Cloudflare.
Set Cloudflare nameservers in Hostinger.
Wait more than 48 hours.
The domain remains in pending status and never gets verified.

Screenshot of the error

There is a “serverHold” status on that domain.

“serverHold” literally means that your domain is suspended.

You need to contact your registrar to get that sorted out.
