Nameservers
What are the steps to reproduce the issue?
Hello! I have this domain that has been in Pending Nameserver Update for a couple days already, if I do a lookup, the nameservers already match the ones given by Cloudflare, however, it won’t get verified. The registrar is inmotionhosting. I tried removing it and adding it again, and manually requesting verification. What could I do? Or should I just wait longer?
That’s because you are requesting the NS records from the DNS, which are being returned by Cloudflare’s nameservers as they should be. The problem is you have not set the correct 2 at your domain registrar, and that is where Cloudflare is checking that they match what they should be in order to activate your domain.

Thanks for your help! A customer of mine actually owns the domain, I trusted that he had done it right, I already told him to change it again.
Inmotionhosting throws an error with craig (it doesn’t say what the problem actually is) but I guess that’s something they’ll have to fix, since it’s a perfectly valid nameserver.
