: CloudFlare's cPanel plugin assigned new name servers for my domain - how do I make them use the old ones? I deleted my domain in CloudFlare and recreated it using the CloudFlare plugin in

@Bryan171

You actually don't have to switch to our nameservers when signing up through a panel option (that integration works via a CNAME).

Do you have access to the webhost manager interface? It's like cPanel on steroids.

Or you could issue a 302 redirect to a different DNS resolver.

Use a free or cheap DNS until cloudflare is open. Do you have any ability to set the nameserver host name itself? That might be a decent temporary fix.

Conclusion: you can't control which nameservers CloudFlare assigns to your domain name.


The issue might be that CloudFlare reads the current DNS info for the domain while adding it to their site, which is already with CloudFlare, so you might be forced to wait to update it with your DNS provider :-/ This is one of those tough lessons learned through experience, but maybe it will be helpful to someone else to know that the CloudFlare plugin might assign new name servers than what was assigned previously on their site. - Dan
