I have a domain that worked fine with Cloudflare since a while.
On 2019-01-29 the domain expired.
On 2019-02-06 I got a mail telling me that, The name-servers for the domain no longer point to Cloudflare and the DNS records will be completely removed from Cloudflare’s system in 7 days.
On 2019-02-17 I renewed the domain, my domain’s name-servers already set to “ivan.ns.Cloudflare.com” & “lily.ns.Cloudflare.com” (I changed nothing in Cloudflare) and since then it worked fine again.
Suddenly today at 2019-03-17 06:06:55 (GMT+2) the domain was removed from my account without any prior notice.
Why has the domain been removed from my account although it was working fine for a month after the renewing?
All right, yes, the domain was moved away from Cloudflare at the end of January and came back mid-February.
My assumption at this point would be there are no further checks once the domain has been definitely scheduled for removal (after the grace period has passed). I cant tell whether there is still some option to cancel it in the UI or if you had to contact support.
Considering that you have re-added it I would assume everything should be fine now, but I would open a support ticket if you want a definite answer and want to know what you should do next time.
OK, please do it, We need to understand what had happened, and maybe there is a something could be enhanced by Cloudflare team if they have considered this situation.
