Register365.com rejecting Cloudflare nameservers

[emmettogara]

Hi all.

Let my start by saying I am a total novice with everything web related.
I have a .ie domain that is currently not hosted. It is setup to redirect to a .net domain where my site is hosted.
The .ie has no SSL cert. The .net does. Therefore the masked redirect is not secure. I don’t know if it’s the right move but I decided to move the .ie domain to Cloudflare nameservers because that’s where my .net nameservers are.
However when I tried to update the nameservers, register365 rejected them as “not a valid host name”. Please see the attached screenshot.
Any ideas how to proceed?

Thanks in advance.!

Is it possible to now apply an SSL to the .ie domain without hosting it?

This can point to any IP address as the redirection page rule will execute first. I would recommend pointing…
