Hey! I need to set up a domain on a website-making service, but they only allow CloudFlare. I need to buy a domain and transfer it to CloudFlare basically, but I need to wait 60 days to do that. Is there any way around that? Can I purchase a domain from CloudFlare?
Help with cloudflare and domain transferring. |
 
There is no need to transfer domains to CloudFlare or buy one through them (which you can't do, because you can't buy domains from them). You have to register an account at CloudFlare (I highly recommend enabling 2FA), add your domain name and CF will tell you what nameservers you have to set. Go to your domain registrar (if you haven't bought a domain yet, I'd suggest https://namecheap.com), login to their control panel and replace the default nameservers with the 2 nameservers provided by CF. When the transition is complete, CF will send you an email.
You see, Doctor, God didn't kill that little girl. Fate didn't butcher her and destiny didn't feed her to those dogs.
If God saw what any of us did that night he didn't seem to mind. From then on I knew... God doesn't make the world this way. We do.

Use namecheap or iwantmydomain to hold your domain. NC has really excellent support. Stay away from godaddy. They’ve been known to take your domain and their support is a pain.
