DNS propagation slow

Oh wait, sorry. The website is on Bluehost. I am new to all this. The domain is registered at Squarespace, but the Website is hosted on Bluehost. Really sorry.

Find out from Bluehost then what the DNS records should be.

Ok. Then I need to revert the DNS changes I made at Squarespace and input those of Bluehost, right?.
So Squarespace points to Bluehost, which points to Cloudflare?

No, you have to set your Cloudflare DNS to point at Bluehost.

You have set the nameservers to Bluehost, which now exposes the IP address I gave above so that is the one to use in your Cloudflare DNS…

If you do that and set your nameservers back to Cloudflare, then your site will work. Remember to copy across any other DNS such as those for email.

Sooo, I can’t add IP. Am I supposed to add the ns values?

To start, add an A record for @ (represents your domain) pointing to 50.6.153.115 in your Cloudflare DNS. Copy this and any other records from your Bluehost DNS.

Follow this guide…

You do not add NS records pointing to Bluehost’s nameservers. Once the records are all set in Cloudflare, you change the nameservers at Squarespace back to the Cloudflare ones.
