I’d like to move a large amount of .co.uk domains to Cloudflare Registrar.
So far I’ve moved around 40 and I’ve already found multiple issues that will make the process very painful and slow. So I have some suggestions that I hope will find their way to the relevant team.
-
for some reason, uk domains do not automatically appear in the registrar > transfer section. This requires me to go to the dashboard for each domain and go from there; very labourious. Suggestion: fix that, but also add the ability to do this via API.
-
another suggestion for uk domains would be to make the transfer in automatic. If someone changes the IPSTAG on a .uk domain to CLOUDFLARE then it would porbably make sense to automatically assign that domain to the account that the domain is associated with.
-
contact details - currently its just a clumsy mess; allow the amendment of domain contact details for all 4 types and make it automated when transfering in.
-
bill in GBP, you’re paying nominet in GBP then converting to USD then billing me in USD; there must be a better way.
-
domain renewals; yesterday I have 27 domains auto renew… one by one. That’s 27 individual transactions in a short period. Some failed because my bank thought it was suspicious. Please bill auto renewals in one transaction.
-
make it much easier to see which domains are or are not with Cloudfalre registrar. Right now theres no easy way to see when you have 100’s of websites in a clofudlare account, i have to look 20 at a time…
I think that’s it, for now! I hope that Cloudflare takes the registrar part of their business more seriously and doesnt stay an “afterthought” for too long. It’s great you offer the service at all but just a few features would make it a solid product.
