Transferring a domain registration without Managed DNS

I’ve been a long-time user of DynDNS for my personal domains, but Oracle is changing their DNS service to something that’s more appropriate for enterprise users. I’d like to transfer my domain registration to Cloudflare. However, I do not want to use Cloudflare’s managed DNS service (I’d rather use my hosting provider’s, or just run my own).

I cannot figure out how to do this, though- I just want to use Cloudflare Registrar to point my domains to my non-Cloudflare DNS service. Is this possible? Thanks!

Hi @joev,

Currently, with Cloudflare Registrar, you can’t point the nameservers away from Cloudflare so you do have to use their DNS service. You can use DNS only and disable the security/performance benefits though.
