how to get nameservers?

pikachupokemonpikachupokemon Member
in Help

My domain is from A, my hosting is from B and I'm using cloudflare.

I'm using geek panel(just trying out as).

I'd like to know what name servers do I fill in?

Do I key the DNS in geekpanel and cloudflare and use the name servers of cloudflare in geekpanel?

    You would enter your namservers names from cloudflare where your domain name is registered; in cloudflare you create your records and use the ipaddress from your hosting provider.

    CF is all fuked up atm, you may not be able to right now.

    If you register your site with Cloudflare and set the name server ●●●.ns.cloudflare.com 2 item to the domain, the domain will refer to Cloudflare's DNS. In this case, please configure Cloudflare's DNS. Hosting's DNS doesn't work.

    When you change the nameservers to your hosting (example: ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com), the hosting's nameservers will work.

    My domain isn't from cloudflare.so I will put cloudflare's nameservers in geekpanel and A(where I bought my domain)?

    There's no need for that. DNS references are determined by the domain's name servers.

    go to your dns records on A to use custom nameservers for cloudflare.
    then type in the dns servers that cloudflare wants you to use, its something like athena.cloudflare.com and steven.cloudflare.com.

    On cloudflare you will use the ipv4/6 to create an A and AAAA record that is pointing to the hosting on B.

    hope this helps!

    athena.ns.cloudflare.com and steven.ns.cloudflare.com (which would be correct) is your account. This subdomain varies depending on your account. That's why I wrote "name server ●●●.ns.cloudflare.com 2 item".

    it should be under dns settings for your domain on cloudflare

    You don't seem to understand the comment. The first thing you need to check here is the nameservers of the domain you purchased. Not cloudflare or geekpanel.　Also, there should be an item for nameservers, which requires at least two items to be set, instead of zones where you set A, AAAA, and TXT records.

    oh my bad, i think you need to add your domain to cloudflare so you can use there service's.

    yes. You will need at least a purchased domain. Free (sub)domains can hardly be registered. (Probably around EU.org)

    Simply, add domain on cloudflare then add two name server in your domain which is given by cloudflare.
    Now, create A record with your hosting IP address in your cloudflare DNS section.
    Like for main domain you can create two A record Host: @ and Host: *

    I am using nameservers from freedns. I don't think it's needed then.> @tasnim said:

    Do I put the DNS of my hosting into the geekpanel of my hosting?

    Also, geekpanel root is asking for my nameservers and I don't think it's correct to put cloudflare nameservers as the default one

    If you use Cloudflare then you don't need to setup private name server on geekpanel.
    Just add your domain in geekpanel as website/wordpress and then put your VPS IPv4 as A record that I already told you.

    Do I added name servers of cloudflare inside geekpanel?

    Now cloudflare and domain A has A record of hosting b. Domain A has cloudflare's nameservers. Still not working though

    Did you use the Cloudflare API?

    Did you add your domain in geekpanel yet? If not then add asap.
    No need to add CF name server in geekpanel.

    OK. I understand what you want to do. (FreeDNS = freedns.afraid.org)

    You cannot register a Cloudflare site using a subdomain provided by FreeDNS. (Verify the domain using the Public Suffix List) Do not use Cloudflare in this case.

    Instead, refer to the server directly with the A record (or AAAA, CNAME record) from FreeDNS. You can now use the server's web functionality. Email is not available. To do this, you will need some records, but FreeDNS's free plan has its limits. Also it will be blocked by other servers.

    I have no experience with geekpanel, so I'll leave this to other people's comments.

    1. Login to cloudflare > Add site > Add your domain name.
    2. Copy the Nameserver to be used when cloudflare shows you when setting up
    3. Login to your domain registrar (which I think you said A).
    4. Go to domain DNS setting, Custom Nameserver. Then enter the two cloudflare nameserver.
    5. Finally Login to cloudflare, complete the setup. Add A record and point it to the IP address of your hosting (B).

    There is nothing to do in your Geek Panel dns setting. Your DNS was managed by cloudflare once you setup cloudflare. All the DNS records will be added on your cloudflare dashboard

  • nodeseeknodeseek Member

    Just change the NS record of the registrar to the NS record of cloudflare.
