What is the issue you’re encountering

I’m not familiar with how the email part of a website is moved from one host to another. I would like to know what the steps are ahead of time and what the risk is of losing new email during any down time.

Cloudflare is not a mail host. If you plan to use Cloudflare you can keep your current mail host, just make sure you add the required DNS records to your Cloudflare DNS.

Ok, I saw this article and I thought they were a mail host.

Is that something different?

Yes, Cloudflare will forward email for your domain to an existing email address/account you have, but doesn’t store it or allow you to send email through it.

Thank you. I still need basically the same help though. I want to move to cloudflare as my registrar. I will move the email somewhere else, maybe proton. currently my DNS is pointed to my other host. If I point my DNS to cloudflare, does everything still work the same?
