Redirected Domain Stopped Redirecting When I Changed Registrars.
Contacted the Registrar. They claim Cloudflare is blocking the Redirct.
DNS not responding/updating
Just try to go to https://saintshistory.com
No Cloudflare nameservers are resolving for your domain currently and it seems your domain has never used Cloudflare according to securitytrails.com. a2hosting.com nameservers used up to 2024-09-08 use Cloudflare (no nameservers since), but your domain hasn’t been active on Cloudflare.
If you have just added your site to Cloudflare then ensure you have set the correct 2 nameservers as your registrar, spelled the domain correctly, and have selected a plan (even if free).

Thanks for the reply.
But I’ll confess I’m a little confused.
This domain had always been registered at GoDaddy using the A2 nameservers and redirected to https://nosaintshistory.com. The redirection was set up in my webhost’s Cpanel and I never had a problem. Earlier this year I enabled Cloudflare and changed the nameservers at GoDaddy to the Cloudflare nameserver but the redirection was still set up A2’s Cpanel. Again everything worked fine until I switched from GoDaddy to another domain registrar. Other than the registrar, nothing has changed. The nameservers listed at GoDaddy were pointed at Cloudflare and they are still pointed at Cloudflare with the new Registrar.
Do I have to add the redirected domain to the list of domains I currently have at Cloudflare?
Try enabling Cloudflare with a new account.
I already have Cloudflare enabled on the Domain that saintshistory.com is pointing to. Do you mean add saintshistory.com to Cloudflare?
Of what Domain? Saintshistory.com? I have never had Cloudflare enabled for that but I’m pretty sure I had it pointed at the Cloudflare nameservers.
And what exactly is the screenshot? the name servers of saintshistory.com?
If I read that correctly, you are using cf nameservers for a domain not using cloudflare, that leaves the domain vulnerable.
That domain shows as pending in your account, added recently. whois returns
Name Server: clayton.ns.cloudflare.com
Name Server: irena.ns.cloudflare.com
But the nameservers should be
leonard.ns.cloudflare.com
ryleigh.ns.cloudflare.com
Those are the ones shown on https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/dns
Shows as having
Name Server: IRENA.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM
Name Server: CLAYTON.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM
Those are the ones shown on https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/dns for that domain.
Both show as porkbun with updates last month.
You need to change the ns at porkbun for saintshistory.com to
NS leonard.ns.cloudflare.com
NS ryleigh.ns.cloudflare.com
and remove any others. Once that is active in your account, you can recreate the redirect rule.
Yes, I started to add it to Cloudflare and never finished when I started to get confused.
So you’re saying that just redirecting the domain isn’t enough? I need to add the redirected domain to Cloudflare as well?
Don’t use cf nameservers for domains that are not on cloudflare.
The domain you are directing to does not need to be using cf, but it cannot use cf nameservers if it does not. In that case, contact porkbun and ask them to set the ns to their defaults.
Ok the redirect rule was originally at my web host - and was working fine until just recently. Do i need to change anything?
saintshistory.com to your account and set a redirect to nosaintshistory.com in cloudflare, you need to change the nameservers at porkbun toleonard.ns.cloudflare.com
ryleigh.ns.cloudflare.com
After the site is active in your account, set up a redirect rule in the cloudflare dash to point to nosaintshistory.com. Do that here, https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/rules/redirect-rules
saintshistory.com, you need to change the nameservers at porkbun to whatever they offer as default. Not cloudflare.Ok. Let me try to tend to what you have shared with me. I do appreciate your help but I am more than a little confused.
I think I’m going to just put the nameservers back to the A2 nameservers and go from there.
But Thank You for your help.
Let us know how it works out and if you run into any issues along the way.
