Domain Activation Delay for Newly Registered Domain

Hello Cloudflare Community,

I’ve recently registered a new domain (eggpro.net) directly through Cloudflare and have encountered an unusually long delay in the activation process. It’s been over 5 days since the registration, and despite following all recommended steps, my domain still shows as not active on Cloudflare.

Here’s a brief overview of the actions I’ve taken so far:

  • I registered the domain on Cloudflare and opted for the DNS management services.
  • I added an A record pointing to my server’s IP address.
  • I enabled DNSSEC as suggested in the Cloudflare documentation to potentially expedite the DNS propagation process.

However, despite these steps, my domain status remains “not active,” with the Cloudflare dashboard instructing me to update the nameservers at my registrar. Since I registered the domain through Cloudflare, I’m at a loss on how to proceed or if there’s an additional step I might be missing.

I’d greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to resolve this issue and successfully activate my domain on Cloudflare. Is there a specific setting or verification process that I might have overlooked? Or is there a typical wait time I should anticipate for newly registered domains through Cloudflare?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Did you register a domain or just add a site? When you registrar a domain with Cloudflare registrar, using Cloudflare nameservers is not optional and happens automatically.

Yes, I registered a new domain specifically. I’ve just checked the transaction again, and everything has been successfully paid for. However, I don’t see any receipts in the account settings. There might be an issue with the payment. In any case, thank you for your assistance I’ve gone ahead and created a ticket for now.
