What is the issue you’re encountering

My domain keeps getting deleted

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

I set up a free account, then I get an email about a month later saying it’s been deleted. The email says there are three reasons why it would be deleted: someone deleted it, the nameservers no longer point to it, or it’s not been authenticated.
It’s not the first two.
When I go to the documentation and search “domain authentication” or any variation I get a load of tech answers that don’t seem to be related to the issue.

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

Domain gets deleted

There are 2 Cloudflare accounts for your domain.

It is active in one, and was probably deleted from the other. But it is still working in one account, so you probably just added the domain to 2 accounts by mistake.
