Domain Xfer: old registrar wants to change A recs to IP addr - Cflare has names

What is the name of the domain?

What is the issue you’re encountering

Existing registrar allows me to change A records to one IP address, but Cloudflare is giving me two names eve.ns.cloudflare.com and ryan.ns.cloudflare.com. Seems like square peg in a round hole.

What feature, service or problem is this related to?

DNS records

You are not supposed to create A records, so you are probably in the wrong menu. You need to change the nameservers, and they always have names.

This is the problem… :frowning: Easyspace only allows me to change A Records and not the DS records (if that’s what I should be doing).

Does it not work as described here?

If only… :slight_smile:
I can see that option on my other domains, though the image is different, but not on the one that I have done a “Domain Transfer” on.

(Many thanks for helping!!)

You can’t do a domain transfer until the zone is already active on Cloudflare, which requires you to change the nameservers.

The transfer should fail in 5 days, so then you can try again.

I did the “Domain Transfer Out” on 3rd June…
I had expected it to work with nothing more to do, but nothing has happened. :frowning:

Can you share your actual domain so I can take a look?

I might have confused the issue by creating an account tonight and putting that domain in… when my son had already made an account at the start of June.

I think you will need to contact EasySpace support. The transfer did definitely not happen, and you should be able to change your nameservers in EasySpace.

Will do (well, have done but they haven’t replied yet).
Many, many thanks for your assistance!
