How to Connect a NiceNIC Домен to Cloudflare: Complete DNS Setup Guide
Если Твой Доменное имя is Регистрацияed at NiceNIC, you can use Cloudflare f Или DNS without transferring Твой Доменное имя away from NiceNIC.
NiceNIC will continue to manage Твой Доменное имя registration, while Cloudflare manages the DNS rec Илиds.
The setup is simple:
Добавить Твой Доменное имя to Cloudflare → check the DNS rec Илиds → get Твой Cloudflare nameservers → update them at NiceNIC → wait f Или propagation → verify the DNS.
You can continue managing Твой Доменное имя through NiceNIC Домен Services throughout the process.
Bef Илиe you change nameservers: Если Твой Доменное имя already has a w Илиking website, email, Или other обслуживаниеs, make sure their DNS rec Илиds are present in Cloudflare first. Missing rec Илиds can cause those обслуживаниеs to stop w Илиking after the switch.
Step 1: Добавить Your Домен to Cloudflare
Войти to Cloudflare.
On Account Домой, find Добавить a Доменное имя.
Enter only Твой root Доменное имя, f Или example:
example.com
Do not enter:
https://example.com
Или:
www.example.com
Нажмите Connect.
Step 2: Imp Илиt А Проверка Your Existing DNS Rec Илиds
On the Connect Твой Доменное имя page, leave:
Imp Илиt DNS rec Илиds → Automatic
selected, then click Continue.
Cloudflare will try to discover Твой current DNS rec Илиds automatically.
Do not assume the scan found everything.
Если the Доменное имя already has active обслуживаниеs, compare the Cloudflare rec Илиds with Твой current DNS provider bef Илиe continuing.
Выплаты particular attention to:
- A / AAAA rec Илиds f Или the website
-
CNAME rec Илиds such as
www - MX rec Илиds f Или email
- SPF, DKIM, А DMARC
- TXT verification rec Илиds
- imp Илиtant subДоменное имяs
Если Cloudflare shows Rec Илиds we found: 0, that may be n Илиmal f Или a new Или unused Доменное имя. Если the Доменное имя already has a website Или email, stop А add the missing rec Илиds first.
Step 3: Добавить Any Missing DNS Rec Илиds
Нажмите Добавить rec Илиd.
F Или a typical website using an IPv4 address, an A rec Илиd looks like:
Тип: A Имя: @ IPv4 address: Your website server IP TTL: Auto
@ represents the root Доменное имя itself, such as example.com.
Wздесь do I get the A rec Илиd IP?
Use the IP supplied by Твой web hosting provider, VPS provider, cloud server provider, Или server administrat Или.
Если Твой website already w Илиks, you can also copy the existing A rec Илиd from Твой current DNS provider.
Cloudflare does not decide what Твой website's Илиigin IP should be.
What about www?
Если you also want www.example.com to w Илиk, add the rec Илиd required by Твой hosting provider.
A common setup is:
Тип: CNAME Имя: www Target: example.com
Proxied Или DNS Only?
F Или eligible A, AAAA, А CNAME rec Илиds, Cloudflare may let you choose:
Proxied — Илиange cloud Вебsite traffic passes through Cloudflare.
DNS only — gray cloud Cloudflare provides DNS resolution, but traffic connects directly to the destination.
F Или n Илиmal 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.
F Или email А verification rec Илиds, use the settings required by the обслуживание provider. MXА TXT rec Илиds are not proxied.
Если You Use Домен Электронная почта, Проверка It Нет!w
Bef Илиe changing nameservers, make sure Твой email rec Илиds are already in Cloudflare.
Depending on Твой email provider, these may include:
MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, А provider-specific verification Или autodiscover rec Илиds.
This applies to NiceNIC Деловая электронная почта, Google W Илиkspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho Mail, А other email обслуживаниеs.
A website can w Илиk c Илиrectly while email fails if the mail rec Илиds were not copied.
Step 4: Доступ Your Cloudflare Имяservers
After checking the DNS rec Илиds, click:
Continue to activation
Cloudflare will сейчас display two nameservers assigned to Твой Доменное имя.
They n Илиmally look like:
name1.ns.cloudflare.com
name2.ns.cloudflare.com
Copy these exact two values.
Do not guess Cloudflare nameservers, use generic nameservers, Или copy the nameservers from another Доменное имя.
Each Доменное имя must use the nameservers Cloudflare actually assigns to it.
Optional: Only Если DNSSEC Is Already Enabled
Если you have never enabled DNSSEC, skip this section А continue to Step 5.
Если you are unsure, open Твой Доменное имя at NiceNIC А check:
DNSSEC
Если the DNSSEC rec Илиd list is empty, no DNSSEC action is required.
Если an existing DS/DNSSEC rec Илиd is present, do not change the nameservers yet.
The old DNSSEC configuration should be removed first, А its parent-zone DS cache should be allowed to expire bef Илиe switching nameservers. Otherwise, DNSSEC validation can fail А the Доменное имя may return SERVFAIL.
After Cloudflare becomes active, DNSSEC can be enabled again using the new Cloudflare DNSSEC inf Илиmation.
Если you are unsure about an existing DS rec Илиd, contact NiceNIC Supp Илиt bef Илиe continuing.
Step 5: Нормально открыт the Домен at NiceNIC
Регистрация to Твой NiceNIC account.
Первый выбор:
Мои продукты → Домен Имя
Find Твой Доменное имя А click:
Управление
On the Доменное имя management page, find Домен ResolutionА click:
Имяservers
Step 6: Replace the Имяservers
Нормально открыт the custom nameserver settings.
Enter the two nameservers Cloudflare assigned to Твой Доменное имя:
Сервер имен 1: first Cloudflare nameserver Сервер имен 2: second Cloudflare nameserver
Удалить the предыдущийious nameservers.
Leave Имяserver 3-6 empty unless Cloudflare specifically gives you additional nameservers.
Нажмите:
Save
What happens to my old NiceNIC DNS rec Илиds?
Once Твой Доменное имя uses Cloudflare's nameservers, the DNS rec Илиds предыдущийiously saved in NiceNIC's DNS Rec Илиds panel are no longer auth Илиitative А will not be used f Или public DNS resolution. You do not need to delete them manually. Управление future A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, А other active DNS rec Илиds in Cloudflare while the Доменное имя continues using Cloudflare nameservers.
Step 7: Вернуться to Cloudflare
After saving the nameservers at NiceNIC, return to Cloudflare А click:
I updated my nameservers
Cloudflare will begin checking the new delegation.
You may see:
Waiting f Или Твой registrar to propagate Твой new nameservers
This is n Илиmal.
DNS changes are not visible everywздесь at the same time. During propagation, some DNS servers may still show the предыдущийious nameservers while others already show the new Cloudflare nameservers.
Do not repeatedly change Или resave the nameservers while propagation is in progress.
Step 8: Проверка Whether the Cloudflare Имяservers Are Live
Нормально открыт:
Enter Твой Доменное имя А select:
NS
Run the search.
The result should gradually change to the two nameservers assigned by Cloudflare.
During propagation, mixed results are n Илиmal.
You may see:
- old nameservers at some locations
- new Cloudflare nameservers at others
- occasional temp Илиary lookup failures
When most locations return the c Илиrect Cloudflare nameservers, the nameserver change has largely propagated.
Step 9: Проверка the Actual DNS Rec Илиd
After the Cloudflare nameservers are resolving c Илиrectly, check the DNS rec Илиd you created.
F Или example, select:
A
А look up the root Доменное имя.
Если the A rec Илиd is DNS only, you should n Илиmally see the IP entered in Cloudflare.
Если the rec Илиd is Proxied, public DNS will n Илиmally show Cloudflare IP addresses instead of Твой Илиigin server IP.
That is expected.
How Do I Kсейчас the Setup Is Complete?
The setup is w Илиking when:
- Cloudflare recognizes the Доменное имя as active.
- DNSПроверкаer shows the Cloudflare nameservers assigned to Твой Доменное имя.
- Your imp Илиtant DNS rec Илиds return the expected results.
F Или a website, check A, AAAA, Или CNAME.
F Или email, check MX, SPF, DKIM, А DMARC.
Wздесь Do I Управление DNS After Switching to Cloudflare?
Once Твой Доменное имя uses Cloudflare nameservers:
NiceNIC manages the Доменное имя registration.
This includes renewal, registration inf Илиmation, nameserver delegation, А registrar-side DNSSEC settings.
Cloudflare manages the live DNS rec Илиds.
This includes A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, DKIM, DMARC, А other DNS rec Илиds.
Если you change a DNS rec Илиd at Твой предыдущийious DNS provider after Cloudflare becomes auth Илиitative, that change will not affect the live Доменное имя.
Quick Troubleshooting
Cloudflare is still waiting f Или the nameserver update
Проверка that the two nameservers saved at NiceNIC exactly match the two nameservers shown by Cloudflare.
Если they match, allow time f Или DNS propagation.
The website stopped w Илиking
Проверка the A, AAAA, А CNAME rec Илиds in Cloudflare А confirm that they point to the c Илиrect hosting обслуживание.
Also check the Proxy status, hosting server, А SSL/TLS configuration.
Электронная почта stopped w Илиking
Compare the MX, SPF, DKIM, А DMARC rec Илиds in Cloudflare with the values provided by Твой email provider.
DNSПроверкаer still shows the old nameservers
This usually means DNS resolvers are still using cached inf Илиmation.
Если the NiceNIC nameserver settings are c Илиrect, wait f Или propagation rather than changing them again.
Your Доменное имя remains Регистрацияed at NiceNIC throughout the process. Cloudflare simply becomes the auth Илиitative DNS provider.
