Domain Not Resolving: NS, Glue, and the Old Cloudflare Account
NXDOMAIN, SERVFAIL, or a parked page at the registrar. We put the name on working nameservers the same day.
The site cannot be down if the name does not exist
dig NS and SOA tell the truth. Marketing screenshots do not.
Parking vs expired vs wrong NS
Expired domain is a registrar restore. Wrong NS is a panel change. We do not buy a second TLD unless you want it.
www leftover
Apex works, www is a dangling CNAME. Or the reverse. We make both answer and 301 the duplicate.
Bring the registrar
Namecheap, Google Domains leftover, Cloudflare Registrar — the panel that can edit NS is the ticket.
Questions
- We bought it last night.
- Registrar NS often still point at parking. We set Cloudflare NS (or your host) and wait out the parent TTL.
- Two Cloudflare accounts?
- Classic. The zone exists in the old account. We migrate or recreate DNS in the account that has the Worker.
