I moved my domain to Clodflare but it shows error

Hello!

Yesterday I bought a domain from local company and changed the DNS records to cloudlfare DNS records,

To connect it to my Cloudways server
But when I type my domain name on google it shows “DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN”
I did all the steps correctly as Cloudflare asks to.
I was with cloudways support and they say everything good on their side, nothing unusual.

What can be the cause for that situation? May I need to wait longer till Cloudflare syncs properly with the server?

According to the Cloudflare documentation, the DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAINDNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error means that the DNS query for a specific resource could not locate an associated domain. (Source: https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/troubleshooting/dns-probe-finished-nxdomain/)

In your case, it's possible that the DNS records have not propagated yet. Cloudflare recommends reviewing your DNS settings in the Cloudflare dashboard to ensure that the expected apex domain and any active subdomains are resolving correctly. (Source: https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/troubleshooting/dns-probe-finished-nxdomain/)

You may need to wait a few minutes for the changes to take effect. However, if the issue persists, you can try checking your DNS records again to ensure they are pointing to the correct origin IP address.

Additionally, you can also refer to the Cloudflare community troubleshooting guide for more help. (Source: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/community-tip-fixing-the-dns-probe-finished-nxdomain-error/42818)

DNS cache

Resolving DNS entries is complex and involves many parties (your browser, your operating system, your router and then your ISP's resolver).
Any and all of these intermediaries can potentially cache your DNS request and serve stale content, even though you just updated it.

Quick fixes:

Use a different browser
Restart your PC
Change your DNS from your ISP's to Cloudflare's: https://one.one.one.one/dns/#setup-instructions
