Two domains nameserver will only resolve for one sending other to pending

Website, Application, Performance DNS & Network

What is the name of the domain?

germanyaparent.de | germanyaparent.com

What is the error number?

N/A

What is the error message?

N/A

What is the issue you’re encountering

When Name Server resolves for one of my domains, the other domain is changed from active to make server pending (3 times now)

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

I have gone to Cheapname and confirmed name server is coming from Cloudflare for both as they were copy and pasted and A name and TXT name are coming directly from Replit for one of them.

What feature, service or problem is this related to?

Nameservers

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

Delete and put name servers into cheapname to trigger an active status but then it will resolve and the other domain will be changed to pending

If you go to https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/dns/records (select both domains), what nameservers does it tell you to use for each domain?

3

Both have the same configuration:

Cloudflare Nameservers Every DNS zone on Cloudflare is assigned a set of Cloudflare-branded nameservers.

That does not answer my question. Which nameservers specifically does it tell you to use for each domain?

Sorry, I replied by email and included an image of the Nameservers, but didn’t see that the forum didn’t include the image:

amit.ns.cloudflare.com|
aura.ns.cloudflare.com|

And you see the same nameservers for both domains? Because here is what you are currently using:

germanyaparent.de.      86400   IN      NS      audrey.ns.cloudflare.com.

The .de domain is currently using the wrong nameservers, and that’s why you see that it is pending in your account.

Yeah, that’s my confusion too. I did a https://webwhois.denic.de/ lookup and saw the different nameservers as well for the .de domain. Do you know of a reason for this? I checked namecheap (the domain register) and it shows the same as I have for .com. I also emailed them to ask why it’s different.

Only Namecheap will be able to answer that.

I appreciate your help, Laudian! I am just now getting into the technical side of websites so it helps to have a little support in moments like these.
