Change nameservers but still on Cloudflare servers?
I know Cloudflare does not allow changing nameservers to non-Cloudflare nameservers, but what if I just want to change from:
dayana.ns.cloudfare.com
owen.ns.cloudflare.com
to:
art.ns.cloudflare.com
tess.ns.cloudflare.com
...?

That would be moving from one account to another right?
I’m not sure what you mean by that, but here is the context: I have a landing page hosted by Kajabi and would like to use a domain name for that. Kajabi needs me to change the nameservers to “art” and “tess”. When I registered the domain, Cloudflare assigned “dayana” and “owen.”
Assuming you registered the domain with Cloudflare, I don’t think that will work.
You can transfer a domain between multiple accounts(thereby switching nameservers), but if they are expecting you to change to their nameservers, I’m going to guess they won’t be paying for your domain too
Yeah I was kinda hoping someone who works at Cloudflare would see this and have a heart. Do they even read these? Lol
I can transfer it yeah, but... awww shucks, ICANN has the 60-day rule! 🤦🏻♂️ And this whole time I thought Cloudflare was great, not marking up domain name sales. A SLIGHT CAVEAT TO THAT!!!! Ya know, "but don't think you can conduct your normal Internet business per usual!" 🤣 @Cloudflare (Server Owner) do you even know what you've done to the layman Internet business owner? Sighhhhhh
A lot of the time when a hosting provider tries to tell you to change nameservers you don't actually need to, theyre just trying to make your life slightly easier by managing DNS for you.
That said, Cloudflare Registrar is designed to be used with Cloudflare services. This is made clear when registering a domain:
The person who replied to you works for Cloudflare... (to be clear, I don't.) but the employees here are for the most part here of their own accord and aren't obligated to offer up any help. I can tell you straight-up that nobody there will change your nameservers for you, the function doesn't exist. And they can't bypass the 60 day rule either because of ICANN requirements.
If you want official support you can create a ticket on the dashboard, any account can create a Registrar ticket, but I'm telling you now that they will say the same thing that was said here.
it helps to read the terms of the service you're using before, not after the fact
sighhh
Sighhhh another advanced user expecting a layman to read the terms of service. It should just be told to us if it is a thing that affects us. But I get it, Cloudflare is run by a bunch of engineers and not interested in helping us newbies out. And neither are you, so I guess we can just argue back and forth about that or maybe you can let it go and not be so defensive of your super high tech company you adore. You heard my side of the story, let it be, man. It ain’t a personal attack on you like you did me
Well, I mean, I could pay the $200. So it’s not like it’s impossible.
Except the layperson has no idea what it means. But okay, I already explained my point of view above. If this is all Cloudflare stans on here and yall being like Twitter shutting down the people who aren’t part of your clique, go ahead, I’m here for you to throw under the bus! Have a nice day. This has been very enlightening lol.
