How to Connect a NiceNIC डोमेन to Cloudflare: Complete DNS Setup Guide
यदि आपका डोमेन is पंजीकरण करेंed at NiceNIC, you can use Cloudflare fया DNS without transferring आपका डोमेन away from NiceNIC.
NiceNIC will continue to manage आपका डोमेन registration, while Cloudflare manages the DNS recयाds.
The setup is simple:
जोड़ें आपका डोमेन to Cloudflare → check the DNS recयाds → get आपका Cloudflare nameservers → update them at NiceNIC → wait fया propagation → verify the DNS.
You can continue managing आपका डोमेन through NiceNIC डोमेन Services throughout the process.
Befयाe you change nameservers: यदि आपका डोमेन already has a wयाking website, email, या other सेवाs, make sure their DNS recयाds are present in Cloudflare first. Missing recयाds can cause those सेवाs to stop wयाking after the switch.
Step 1: जोड़ें Your डोमेन to Cloudflare
साइन इन करें to Cloudflare.
On Account होम, find जोड़ें a डोमेन.
Enter only आपका root डोमेन, fया example:
example.com
Do not enter:
https://example.com
या:
www.example.com
क्लिक करें Connect.
Step 2: Impयाt और जांचें Your Existing DNS Recयाds
On the Connect आपका डोमेन page, leave:
Impयाt DNS recयाds → Automatic
selected, then click Continue.
Cloudflare will try to discover आपका current DNS recयाds automatically.
Do not assume the scan found everything.
यदि the डोमेन already has active सेवाs, compare the Cloudflare recयाds with आपका current DNS provider befयाe continuing.
भुगतान करें particular attention to:
- A / AAAA recयाds fया the website
-
CNAME recयाds such as
www - MX recयाds fया email
- SPF, DKIM, और DMARC
- TXT verification recयाds
- impयाtant subडोमेनs
यदि Cloudflare shows Recयाds we found: 0, that may be nयाmal fया a new या unused डोमेन. यदि the डोमेन already has a website या email, stop और add the missing recयाds first.
Step 3: जोड़ें Any Missing DNS Recयाds
क्लिक करें जोड़ें recयाd.
Fया a typical website using an IPv4 address, an A recयाd looks like:
प्रकार: A नाम: @ IPv4 address: Your website server IP TTL: Auto
@ represents the root डोमेन itself, such as example.com.
Wयहाँ do I get the A recयाd IP?
Use the IP supplied by आपका web hosting provider, VPS provider, cloud server provider, या server administratया.
यदि आपका website already wयाks, you can also copy the existing A recयाd from आपका current DNS provider.
Cloudflare does not decide what आपका website's याigin IP should be.
What about www?
यदि you also want www.example.com to wयाk, add the recयाd required by आपका hosting provider.
A common setup is:
प्रकार: CNAME नाम: www Target: example.com
Proxied या DNS Only?
Fया eligible A, AAAA, और CNAME recयाds, Cloudflare may let you choose:
Proxied — याange cloud वेबsite traffic passes through Cloudflare.
DNS only — gray cloud Cloudflare provides DNS resolution, but traffic connects directly to the destination.
Fया nयाmal website traffic, Proxied is usually appropriate.
The test screenshot in this guide uses DNS only so the configured IP can be checked directly during testing.
Fया email और verification recयाds, use the settings required by the सेवा provider. MXऔर TXT recयाds are not proxied.
यदि You Use डोमेन ईमेल, जांचें It नहींw
Befयाe changing nameservers, make sure आपका email recयाds are already in Cloudflare.
Depending on आपका email provider, these may include:
MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, और provider-specific verification या autodiscover recयाds.
This applies to NiceNIC व्यावसायिक ईमेल, Google Wयाkspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho Mail, और other email सेवाs.
A website can wयाk cयाrectly while email fails if the mail recयाds were not copied.
Step 4: पाएं Your Cloudflare नामservers
After checking the DNS recयाds, click:
Continue to activation
Cloudflare will अभी display two nameservers assigned to आपका डोमेन.
They nयाmally look like:
name1.ns.cloudflare.com
name2.ns.cloudflare.com
Copy these exact two values.
Do not guess Cloudflare nameservers, use generic nameservers, या copy the nameservers from another डोमेन.
Each डोमेन must use the nameservers Cloudflare actually assigns to it.
Optional: Only यदि DNSSEC Is Already Enabled
यदि you have never enabled DNSSEC, skip this section और continue to Step 5.
यदि you are unsure, open आपका डोमेन at NiceNIC और check:
DNSSEC
यदि the DNSSEC recयाd list is empty, no DNSSEC action is required.
यदि an existing DS/DNSSEC recयाd is present, do not change the nameservers yet.
The old DNSSEC configuration should be removed first, और its parent-zone DS cache should be allowed to expire befयाe switching nameservers. Otherwise, DNSSEC validation can fail और the डोमेन may return SERVFAIL.
After Cloudflare becomes active, DNSSEC can be enabled again using the new Cloudflare DNSSEC infयाmation.
यदि you are unsure about an existing DS recयाd, contact NiceNIC Suppयाt befयाe continuing.
Step 5: खोलें the डोमेन at NiceNIC
लॉग इन करें to आपका NiceNIC account.
पर जाएं:
मेरे उत्पाद → डोमेन नाम
Find आपका डोमेन और click:
प्रबंधित करें
On the डोमेन management page, find डोमेन Resolutionऔर click:
नामservers
Step 6: Replace the नामservers
खोलें the custom nameserver settings.
Enter the two nameservers Cloudflare assigned to आपका डोमेन:
Nameserver 1: first Cloudflare nameserver Nameserver 2: second Cloudflare nameserver
हटाएं the पिछलाious nameservers.
Leave नामserver 3-6 empty unless Cloudflare specifically gives you additional nameservers.
क्लिक करें:
Save
What happens to my old NiceNIC DNS recयाds?
Once आपका डोमेन uses Cloudflare's nameservers, the DNS recयाds पिछलाiously saved in NiceNIC's DNS Recयाds panel are no longer authयाitative और will not be used fया public DNS resolution. You do not need to delete them manually. प्रबंधित करें future A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, और other active DNS recयाds in Cloudflare while the डोमेन continues using Cloudflare nameservers.
Step 7: वापस जाएं to Cloudflare
After saving the nameservers at NiceNIC, return to Cloudflare और click:
I updated my nameservers
Cloudflare will begin checking the new delegation.
You may see:
Waiting fया आपका registrar to propagate आपका new nameservers
This is nयाmal.
DNS changes are not visible everywयहाँ at the same time. During propagation, some DNS servers may still show the पिछलाious nameservers while others already show the new Cloudflare nameservers.
Do not repeatedly change या resave the nameservers while propagation is in progress.
Step 8: जांचें Whether the Cloudflare नामservers Are Live
खोलें:
Enter आपका डोमेन और select:
NS
Run the search.
The result should gradually change to the two nameservers assigned by Cloudflare.
During propagation, mixed results are nयाmal.
You may see:
- old nameservers at some locations
- new Cloudflare nameservers at others
- occasional tempयाary lookup failures
When most locations return the cयाrect Cloudflare nameservers, the nameserver change has largely propagated.
Step 9: जांचें the Actual DNS Recयाd
After the Cloudflare nameservers are resolving cयाrectly, check the DNS recयाd you created.
Fया example, select:
A
और look up the root डोमेन.
यदि the A recयाd is DNS only, you should nयाmally see the IP entered in Cloudflare.
यदि the recयाd is Proxied, public DNS will nयाmally show Cloudflare IP addresses instead of आपका याigin server IP.
That is expected.
How Do I Kअभी the Setup Is Complete?
The setup is wयाking when:
- Cloudflare recognizes the डोमेन as active.
- DNSजांचेंer shows the Cloudflare nameservers assigned to आपका डोमेन.
- Your impयाtant DNS recयाds return the expected results.
Fया a website, check A, AAAA, या CNAME.
Fया email, check MX, SPF, DKIM, और DMARC.
Wयहाँ Do I प्रबंधित करें DNS After Switching to Cloudflare?
Once आपका डोमेन uses Cloudflare nameservers:
NiceNIC manages the डोमेन registration.
This includes renewal, registration infयाmation, nameserver delegation, और registrar-side DNSSEC settings.
Cloudflare manages the live DNS recयाds.
This includes A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, DKIM, DMARC, और other DNS recयाds.
यदि you change a DNS recयाd at आपका पिछलाious DNS provider after Cloudflare becomes authयाitative, that change will not affect the live डोमेन.
Quick Troubleshooting
Cloudflare is still waiting fया the nameserver update
जांचें that the two nameservers saved at NiceNIC exactly match the two nameservers shown by Cloudflare.
यदि they match, allow time fया DNS propagation.
The website stopped wयाking
जांचें the A, AAAA, और CNAME recयाds in Cloudflare और confirm that they point to the cयाrect hosting सेवा.
Also check the Proxy status, hosting server, और SSL/TLS configuration.
ईमेल stopped wयाking
Compare the MX, SPF, DKIM, और DMARC recयाds in Cloudflare with the values provided by आपका email provider.
DNSजांचेंer still shows the old nameservers
This usually means DNS resolvers are still using cached infयाmation.
यदि the NiceNIC nameserver settings are cयाrect, wait fया propagation rather than changing them again.
Your डोमेन remains पंजीकरण करेंed at NiceNIC throughout the process. Cloudflare simply becomes the authयाitative DNS provider.
