I transfered and registered my domain to Cloudflare and I am wondering if I can use another dns host and point my domains name servers externally.
I’m not seeing the option under domain management tools.
You cannot. The Cloudflare registrar terms require the use of Cloudflare DNS.
6.1 in the Domain Registration Agreement states that you cannot change the nameservers:
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.
You’ll either need to use Cloudflare’s DNS and get a list of the required records from your host, or transfer your domain elsewhere to change the nameservers.
Thank you for your response.
It’s fine. I ended up working it out.
I was trying to troubleshoot an issue that I thought was maybe due to Cloudflare (even though I knew logically it didn’t make sense).
I figured out the issue and it was just a server configuration and nothing to do with Cloudflare
So we’re all good
