I've changed my hosting provider today and bought a new host from another provider but i have this problem.



about my previous host:
my previous hosting was also the one that registered my domain. they use resello company for domain registering. i asked them to change my name servers to the ones cloudflare gave me in order to use cloudflrare service. they did that, it worked fine.



my new hosting:
i purchased a new host and there were some options about domains and i chose the one that was about changing only the DNS settings. so i had to change my domain's name servers to theirs so my domain will point to the new host



my problem:
the thing is that i want my domain point to the new host, but i also want to use cloudflrare. i tried to change the main A record in cloudflare to point to the new shared address of new host but it didn't work. maybe it needs some time to change in cloudflare?

So your explanation was really confusing, but your solution seems fairly simple:

Your domain's servers are already pointed to the cloudflare nameservers. You do not need to change these. Cloudflare is still pointing users to your old host, but you can edit the DNS records in cloudflare to point to your new host. Simply change the existing A record to point to the IP of your new host. You may also need to adjust your mail and other records.
