can u import them ? what about the DNS records for emails such as MX DKIM SPF etc can I leave those at my old one

Hharryphilip1275 can u import them ? what about the DNS records for emails such as MX DKIM SPF...

You'll need to move everything over, including those records. Your old DNS provider won't handle anything related to DNS any more so everything will be controlled through the DNS page on the Cloudflare dashboard.

So in order to use Cloudflare you'll have to only use DNS at Cloudflare. IBM won't handle any DNS any more at all

harryphilip1275OP•4/2/25, 1:09 AM

Ok but when I go to the DNS dashboard in Cloudflare I see all the exiting DNS records so I am ver yconfused

harryphilip1275OP•4/2/25, 1:09 AM

and all the A records say proxied

harryphilip1275OP•4/2/25, 1:10 AM

existing records

Isaac McFadyen•4/2/25, 1:11 AM

OK so then your site isn't working for reasons unrelated to DNS

Isaac McFadyen•4/2/25, 1:11 AM

When you go to your website do you see an error page?

harryphilip1275OP•4/2/25, 1:12 AM

they obviously picking up these records from my DNS at IBM

harryphilip1275OP•4/2/25, 1:13 AM

no error but when I changed it back to the DNS servers where I am hosting it started working again

harryphilip1275OP•4/2/25, 1:15 AM

in the dash board where it shows all those DNS records it picked up from my IBM DNS settings it points to the IP of my website is that correct , that shouldnt change right

harryphilip1275OP•4/2/25, 1:20 AM

I dont see an error it just says not found and when change it back from CloudflareDNS to IBM then it works again

IIsaac McFadyen There's a very small button at the bottom called "I will use my own nameservers"...

mentalizer•4/2/25, 1:21 AM

I wish it was that simple... I know how to change the name servers, and I did, but it throws an error to contact support because domains expired yesterday. I contact support and they confirm it and try to make me pay for a renewal and then transfer just to have to pay for another renewal :-(((( is there someone from cloudflare who can help me pull these domains using the transfer code? This I can get easily...

valkyrie_pilot•4/2/25, 1:30 AM

the easiest and lowest risk way to do this is probably to pay the renewal twice, and then just have 2 years on the domain

Isaac McFadyen•4/2/25, 2:03 AM

What not found page do you get? Is it the not found page of your web browser? Does it have a Cloudflare logo? Or is it another page?

harryphilip1275OP•4/2/25, 2:42 AM

No cloudflare logo

harryphilip1275OP•4/2/25, 2:42 AM

Not found of my web browser

harryphilip1275OP•4/2/25, 2:47 AM

someone told me they had same issue and when they went to the pro version it resolved - does that make any sense

harryphilip1275OP•4/2/25, 2:49 AM

but I googled it and it said you do not need that for DNS to work

harryphilip1275OP•4/2/25, 3:52 AM

Could it be because the WWW and A records all use the proxied setting because I think that changes the IP address doesnt it ?

harryphilip1275OP•4/2/25, 3:53 AM

maybe if I changed that in the dashboard it could fix the problem ?

harryphilip1275OP•4/2/25, 4:17 AM

in the dashboard it is recommending adding DNS records that I already see there , I am about to give up on cloudflare

sh33p•4/2/25, 5:53 AM

The stats for my worker show a "CPU time" of about 3ms in the box at the top of the page, but the "median CPU time" and the quantiles lower down are nearer 20ms. I'm guessing the latter is what's true, but what's that first number about?

Mohamed•4/2/25, 6:15 AM

Hello Team,

I’ve been facing an issue for the past few days where both my website and apps have been completely down. They are not functioning as expected and only keep loading indefinitely. After conducting some investigation, I found that my hosting provider is Cloudflare. When I reached out to the GoDaddy team, they informed me that the issue originates from Cloudflare.

Could someone please assist me in resolving this as soon as possible? This is critical for my operations.

mattp•4/2/25, 6:31 AM

Hello! I'm planning to change nameservers of my domain to Cloudflare's (aliza.ns.cloudflare.com, max.ns.cloudflare.com). Should I worry about the connection from my China clients to the nameservers?

gotsleep?•4/2/25, 9:49 AM

hi all

D5•4/2/25, 12:34 PM

I don't understand:
If I have a domain (for example: main.mydomain.com) that is proxied, why when creating a CNAME pointing to it (pointingtomain.mydomain.com) with the proxy disabled, points to the server IP instead of main.mydomain.com Cloudflare IPs?

If I add a different domain instead, I will need to create a cloudflare account, etc in order to have it proxied?

Peps•4/2/25, 1:19 PM

why can't you just enable the proxy flag on that other record as well, if you want it proxied?

Chaika•4/2/25, 1:30 PM

What are you trying to do?
In the same account, Cloudflare will do "smart" things like that to resolve better/avoid issues

If you tried doing that from another Cloudflare account, it'd not respond to any of your requests unless you setup CF For SaaS and used that

D5•4/2/25, 1:52 PM

So if someone just points to my domain with a CNAME, it will cost me?

Original message was deleted

D5•4/2/25, 1:57 PM

But how's Cloudflare determining what user is allowed to point to my website?

D5•4/2/25, 1:58 PM

But it's not my domain

D5•4/2/25, 1:58 PM

I mean with Cloudflare SaaS

Original message was deleted

D5•4/2/25, 2:04 PM

That's an issue, because that can increase costs exponentially

DD5 I mean with Cloudflare SaaS

Chaika•4/2/25, 2:07 PM

You have to add each hostname that you want to allow, within the dashboard or via the api

Original message was deleted

D5•4/2/25, 2:10 PM

It's 0.10€. quite expensive
