How long for domain to become active?

Hi everyone! Just purchased a domain for personal use and was wondering how long it takes to become active? As of now if I try to navigate to the site it doesn't work. Any advice is appreciated

Typically anywhere from instantly to 96 hours, under the condition that everything is correctly configured.

Can you possibly share the domain name, so we can have a look at it?

Unfortunately I cant share it, but as it was just registered tonight I kind of figured it might just need some time

For some context it was unregistered prior to purchasing it on Cloudflare, and aside from adding a CNAME to redirect a google site to it, I havent done any other major thing in terms of setup

Basically just followed all of the steps outlined here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/registrar/get-started/register-domain/

Do you see the domain under https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/domains?

Yeah it's there, it also appears on the ICANN lookup website

If the ICANN lookup website:
1. Does NOT show any serverHoldserverHold or clientHoldclientHold under "Domain Status"
2. Shows up with the correct name servers (as seen near the bottom of https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/dns/records)
Then I would just wait and see.

The domain status is listed as clientTransferProhibited, is this fine?

If that's the only one you have, that will be fine.

Sweet, thanks for the help
