Domain Not Resolving After Transferring To Cloudflare

What is the name of the domain?

somdjhire.co.uk

What is the error number?

Error 1000

What is the error message?

Error 1000 Ray ID: 8dd8b6b4ef8076c3 • 2024-11-05 00:26:40 UTC DNS points to prohibited IP What happened? You’ve requested a page on a website (somdjhire.co.uk) that is on the Cloudflare network. Unfortunately, it is resolving to an IP address that is creating a conflict within Cloudflare’s system. What can I do? If you are the owner of this website: you should login to Cloudflare and change the DNS A records for somdjhire.co.uk to resolve to a different IP address.

What is the issue you’re encountering

I transferred my domain to Clouflare and completed the transfer I then tried to set up the A records pointing to one of the ipv4 addreses from Cloudflare but I’m getting the error above I’m using Google sites and it’s just not connecting no matter what I do please help. I saw something about pointing to my origin but as I’m now hosted on Cloudflare the origin would be a Cloudflare orgin ip I think? or am I missing something?

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

Iv’e tried using other ip addresses but none work Iv’e Google what should my ip be and done a DNS search for my records A records but just can’t seem to find the right ip to point my domain to in the DNS settings

What feature, service or problem is this related to?

I don’t know

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

Just search for my website and try to go to it via Google and you get the error if I remove the A records I get a 404 error

May I ask do you have a dedicated team for IT or you’re alone here with this?

Do you know where your Website was hosted prior creating an Cloudflare account and adding your domain to the Cloudflare? :thinking:

Have you had some Web developer hired?

If you temporary Pause Cloudflare, does your Website respond and work fine over the HTTPS? :thinking:

  • Use the “Pause Cloudflare on Site” option from the Overview tab for your domain at dash.cloudflare.com .
  • The link is in the lower right corner of that page.

If not, I’d suggest creating a free account at the below link and checking the DNS history for help to determine the DNS records you’d need to have and add under the DNS tab of Cloudflare dashboard using below helpful article:

No I have no team just a lone owner of a website trying to do things my self with very little technical experience after I had a bad experience with the 123 reg admin team who don’t seem to know what they are doing the website went down on Thursday last week after trying to forward the domain think I made a mistake anyway I deleted the forwarding redirect but it never came back online was just getting a 404 error so I after not being able to contact any support at 123reg all weekend as they only work Mon-Fri and no live chat support link although it says they have one lol and no I have o web developer just me I made my website on google sites so have no hosting as such it had been working fine on 123 reg until I asked them to se up my canonical domain and set up http redirect to https that’s when I just started having problems so moved over to Cloudflare hoping I could resolve the issue I moved DNS servers first them moved my domain to Cloudflare so my name servers and domain are both on Cloudflare

I think Iv’e added the wrong IP address to my A records and I’m not sure what to update them with let me know if you think the same, same happens when I turn Pause Cloudflare no difference it’s not very clear! it says something about origin IP but since I’m now hosted on Cloudflare I would of thought I would of had Cloudflare origin IP address now as the transfer was completed and all seems to be up and running in my account

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am sorry to hear this happen to you.

You’re using just the DNS to point your domain to your desired location, hosting, server, and other features in the meantime from Cloudflare to protect, secure and speed-up your Website. Cloudflare doesn’t host your Website, yet it’s not as a regular Web hosting company, nor a Web hosting provider.

Here is a guide for help which DNS records you’d have to add under the DNS tab of Cloudflare dashboard:

Do you know what IP I should be using to point my domain too I can’t find them anywhere

Following the official Google guide here:

You’d be prompt with the CNAME somdjhire.co.uk or CNAME www pointed to the ghs.googlehosted.com DNS record(s), which you then add to the Cloudflare. I haven’t went through those steps yet, have to give it a try as well.

Here is helpful one:

Hi thanks for the reply I have set most of what you said by the Google sites verified from my dashboard and did not ask me to add the www or ghs.googlehosted.com when I attempt to add it I get this error

An A, AAAA, or CNAME record with that host already exists. For more details, refer to <Cannot add DNS records with the same name

I’’ attach a screen shot of my DNS settings

Remove those A type of the DNS records on the list first which point to temporary IPs 192.0.2.1 and 192.0.2.0 and 1.1.1.1 and CNAME www.

How did they got here since before?
