Do you mention that Cloudflare requires that you use them as the DNS host for your domain? That I'd one of the biggest asterisks of Cloudflare's service. Hover

Hover, the Tucows retail registrar, is probably a good one to add.
Lots of folks around here like PorkBun for whatever reason.

- Arelius 2y agoNot OP, but I'm aware that cloud flare requires you to use then as a dns host to use them as a cdn, or related features.. is it also the case that using them as a registrar, you must also use them as a dns host?
- NewJazz 2y agoYes. Cloudflare Registrar is only available for customers that use Cloudflare as their authoritative DNS provider https://developers.cloudflare.com/registrar/get-started/register-domain/ https://developers.cloudflare.com/registrar/get-started/regi...
- Arelius 2y agoThese cloudflare dns policies make it painful to use their services. I have a client, I'd like to migrate some stuff to cloudflare from AWS. But I'm just not going to do it unless I can migrate very incrementally. And I can't migrate to their registrar without their DNS, and I can't migrate to their CDN without their DNS on my root-domain. Ugh! I really want to be able to give Cloudflare a try, but this really just isn't feasible.
