How to change name servers when using Cloudflare Registrar?

Hello! How to change the Cloudflare name server address to another name server if you register a domain under Cloudflare.

Hi @jayaraja.rajamani,

Unfortunately, you cannot change name servers when using Cloudflare Registrar. This is mentioned in the Domain Registration Agreement:

6.1. Nameservers . Registrant agrees to use Cloudflare’s nameservers. REGISTRANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT MAY NOT CHANGE THE NAMESERVERS ON THE REGISTRAR SERVICES, AND THAT IT MUST TRANSFER TO A THIRD PARTY REGISTRAR IF IT WISHES TO CHANGE NAMESERVERS.

If you don’t want to use Cloudflare’s name servers, you will have to transfer the domain to another registrar.

Thanks a lot for your response and perfect reply. But it’s really something strange to see Cloudflare not allowing to change. But, every Register allows changing name servers in the world

I’m happy to help

I believe Cloudflare Registrar is meant as an extra service for people who already use Cloudflare’s CDN, rather than as a general purpose registrar. But they definitely could - and should - make this a lot clearer.
