finding xx.pages.dev DNS information
Hi,
I've connected a site through GitHub & xx.pages.dev and it's meant to replace a current existing site that's being hosted by someone else. Now I've finished my site and I'm ready to transfer the domain to cloudflare, however, the previous domain's owner has now asked me for the DNS-information of my xx.pages.dev in order to transfer the domain over to me.
Now I'm new to this so forgive me for being blind - but, where can I find the DNS-Information of my xx.pages.dev? Given it's not using an existing(/purchased) domain I can't find it under the Domains tab and I'm quite certain that in order to transfer domain to Cloudflare it requires the previous owner to change their NameServers to mine?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what you mean by "transfer." Domain transfers don't require DNS information, only an authorization code. You can find details at https://developers.cloudflare.com/registrar/get-started/transfer-domain-to-cloudflare/
If you only need to transfer DNS to Cloudflare without transferring domain ownership, just add a zone.
I recommend you to check whether this domain name supports transfer to Cloudflare first.
Cloudflare Docs
Transfer your domain to Cloudflare
Transferring your domain to Cloudflare tells your registry that a different registrar can now set those authoritative records for you. The relationship is based on trust. Registries only trust one registrar at any given time to make changes on your behalf.
Alternatively, if you just want to connect a single domain to Pages, refer to this
https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/configuration/custom-domains/
Cloudflare Docs
Custom domains
When deploying your Pages project, you may wish to point custom domains (or subdomains) to your site.
Ty for the response, I did indeed check if the ccTLD was accepted and no it was not so I’ll have to look into another domain host. And that’s what i figured too, I was a bit confused as to why he mentioned DNS info when I asked to transfer the domain..
Thanks! I’ll likely use this in the future
