Domain stuck in Pending Nameserver Update state despite being registered with Cloud

[pogadev18]

What is the name of the domain?

athletepath.co

What is the error message?

Pending nameserver update for domain registered with Cloudflare.

What is the issue you’re encountering

I registered my domain athletepath.co on October 30th through Cloudflare, and the nameserver update is still pending after 6 days. The domain shows a ‘Pending Nameserver Update’ status despite being registered directly through Cloudflare Registrar.

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

1. Verified the correct Cloudflare nameservers are assigned (houston.ns.cloudflare.com and julissa.ns.cloudflare.com)
2. Waited well beyond the standard 24-hour propagation period
3. Checked for any DNSSEC-related issues
4. Verified the domain registration is active in Cloudflare Registrar
5. Reviewed DNS settings and configuration

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

1. Log into Cloudflare dashboard
2. Navigate to athletepath.co domain overview
3. Observe ‘Pending Nameserver Update’ status banner
4. Check DNS settings showing nameservers are correctly set to Cloudflare’s nameservers
5. Note that this state has persisted since October 30th, 2024

If you did register the domain through Cloudflare Registrar, then you will need to raise a Cloudflare Registrar support ticket to ask for help.
