How to Connect a NiceNIC Domen to Cloudflare: Complete DNS Setup Guide
Agar sizning domain is roʻyxatdan oʻtkazished at NiceNIC, you can use Cloudflare fyoki DNS without transferring sizning domain away from NiceNIC.
NiceNIC will continue to manage sizning domain registration, while Cloudflare manages the DNS recyokids.
The setup is simple:
Qo‘shish sizning domain to Cloudflare → check the DNS recyokids → get sizning Cloudflare nameservers → update them at NiceNIC → wait fyoki propagation → verify the DNS.
You can continue managing sizning domain through NiceNIC Domen Services throughout the process.
Befyokie you change nameservers: Agar sizning domain already has a wyokiking website, email, yoki other Xizmats, make sure their DNS recyokids are present in Cloudflare first. Missing recyokids can cause those Xizmats to stop wyokiking after the switch.
Step 1: Qo‘shish Your Domen to Cloudflare
Kirish to Cloudflare.
On Account Bosh sahifa, find Qo‘shish a domain.
Enter only sizning root domain, fyoki example:
example.com
Do not enter:
https://example.com
yoki:
www.example.com
Bosing Connect.
Step 2: Impyokit va Текшириш Your Existing DNS Recyokids
On the Connect sizning domain page, leave:
Impyokit DNS recyokids → Automatic
selected, then click Continue.
Cloudflare will try to discover sizning current DNS recyokids automatically.
Do not assume the scan found everything.
Agar the domain already has active Xizmats, compare the Cloudflare recyokids with sizning current DNS provider befyokie continuing.
Тўлаш particular attention to:
- A / AAAA recyokids fyoki the website
-
CNAME recyokids such as
www - MX recyokids fyoki email
- SPF, DKIM, va DMARC
- TXT verification recyokids
- impyokitant subdomains
Agar Cloudflare shows Recyokids we found: 0, that may be nyokimal fyoki a new yoki unused domain. Agar the domain already has a website yoki email, stop va add the missing recyokids first.
Step 3: Qo‘shish Any Missing DNS Recyokids
Bosing Qo‘shish recyokid.
Fyoki a typical website using an IPv4 address, an A recyokid looks like:
Turi: A Ism: @ IPv4 address: Your website server IP TTL: Auto
@ represents the root domain itself, such as example.com.
Wbu yerni do I get the A recyokid IP?
Use the IP supplied by sizning web hosting provider, VPS provider, cloud server provider, yoki server administratyoki.
Agar sizning website already wyokiks, you can also copy the existing A recyokid from sizning current DNS provider.
Cloudflare does not decide what sizning website's yokiigin IP should be.
What about www?
Agar you also want www.example.com to wyokik, add the recyokid required by sizning hosting provider.
A common setup is:
Turi: CNAME Ism: www Target: example.com
Proxied yoki DNS Only?
Fyoki eligible A, AAAA, va CNAME recyokids, Cloudflare may let you choose:
Proxied — yokiange cloud Vebsite traffic passes through Cloudflare.
DNS only — gray cloud Cloudflare provides DNS resolution, but traffic connects directly to the destination.
Fyoki nyokimal 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.
Fyoki email va verification recyokids, use the settings required by the Xizmat provider. MXva TXT recyokids are not proxied.
Agar You Use Domen Elektron pochta, Текшириш It Yo‘qw
Befyokie changing nameservers, make sure sizning email recyokids are already in Cloudflare.
Depending on sizning email provider, these may include:
MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, va provider-specific verification yoki autodiscover recyokids.
This applies to NiceNIC Biznes emaili, Google Wyokikspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho Mail, va other email Xizmats.
A website can wyokik cyokirectly while email fails if the mail recyokids were not copied.
Step 4: Oling Your Cloudflare Ismservers
After checking the DNS recyokids, click:
Continue to activation
Cloudflare will hozir display two nameservers assigned to sizning domain.
They nyokimally look like:
name1.ns.cloudflare.com
name2.ns.cloudflare.com
Copy these exact two values.
Do not guess Cloudflare nameservers, use generic nameservers, yoki copy the nameservers from another domain.
Each domain must use the nameservers Cloudflare actually assigns to it.
Optional: Only Agar DNSSEC Is Already Enabled
Agar you have never enabled DNSSEC, skip this section va continue to Step 5.
Agar you are unsure, open sizning domain at NiceNIC va check:
DNSSEC
Agar the DNSSEC recyokid list is empty, no DNSSEC action is required.
Agar an existing DS/DNSSEC recyokid is present, do not change the nameservers yet.
The old DNSSEC configuration should be removed first, va its parent-zone DS cache should be allowed to expire befyokie switching nameservers. Otherwise, DNSSEC validation can fail va the domain may return SERVFAIL.
After Cloudflare becomes active, DNSSEC can be enabled again using the new Cloudflare DNSSEC infyokimation.
Agar you are unsure about an existing DS recyokid, contact NiceNIC Suppyokit befyokie continuing.
Step 5: Ochish the Domen at NiceNIC
Kirish to sizning NiceNIC account.
O‘ting:
Mening Mahsulotlarim → Domen Ism
Find sizning domain va click:
Boshqarish
On the domain management page, find Domen Resolutionva click:
Ismservers
Step 6: Replace the Ismservers
Ochish the custom nameserver settings.
Enter the two nameservers Cloudflare assigned to sizning domain:
Nameserver 1: first Cloudflare nameserver Nameserver 2: second Cloudflare nameserver
Олиб ташлаш the oldingiious nameservers.
Leave Ismserver 3-6 empty unless Cloudflare specifically gives you additional nameservers.
Bosing:
Save
What happens to my old NiceNIC DNS recyokids?
Once sizning domain uses Cloudflare's nameservers, the DNS recyokids oldingiiously saved in NiceNIC's DNS Recyokids panel are no longer authyokiitative va will not be used fyoki public DNS resolution. You do not need to delete them manually. Boshqarish future A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, va other active DNS recyokids in Cloudflare while the domain continues using Cloudflare nameservers.
Step 7: Orqaga to Cloudflare
After saving the nameservers at NiceNIC, return to Cloudflare va click:
I updated my nameservers
Cloudflare will begin checking the new delegation.
You may see:
Waiting fyoki sizning registrar to propagate sizning new nameservers
This is nyokimal.
DNS changes are not visible everywbu yerni at the same time. During propagation, some DNS servers may still show the oldingiious nameservers while others already show the new Cloudflare nameservers.
Do not repeatedly change yoki resave the nameservers while propagation is in progress.
Step 8: Текшириш Whether the Cloudflare Ismservers Are Live
Ochish:
Enter sizning domain va select:
NS
Run the search.
The result should gradually change to the two nameservers assigned by Cloudflare.
During propagation, mixed results are nyokimal.
You may see:
- old nameservers at some locations
- new Cloudflare nameservers at others
- occasional tempyokiary lookup failures
When most locations return the cyokirect Cloudflare nameservers, the nameserver change has largely propagated.
Step 9: Текшириш the Actual DNS Recyokid
After the Cloudflare nameservers are resolving cyokirectly, check the DNS recyokid you created.
Fyoki example, select:
A
va look up the root domain.
Agar the A recyokid is DNS only, you should nyokimally see the IP entered in Cloudflare.
Agar the recyokid is Proxied, public DNS will nyokimally show Cloudflare IP addresses instead of sizning yokiigin server IP.
That is expected.
How Do I Khozir the Setup Is Complete?
The setup is wyokiking when:
- Cloudflare recognizes the domain as active.
- DNSТекширишer shows the Cloudflare nameservers assigned to sizning domain.
- Your impyokitant DNS recyokids return the expected results.
Fyoki a website, check A, AAAA, yoki CNAME.
Fyoki email, check MX, SPF, DKIM, va DMARC.
Wbu yerni Do I Boshqarish DNS After Switching to Cloudflare?
Once sizning domain uses Cloudflare nameservers:
NiceNIC manages the domain registration.
This includes renewal, registration infyokimation, nameserver delegation, va registrar-side DNSSEC settings.
Cloudflare manages the live DNS recyokids.
This includes A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, DKIM, DMARC, va other DNS recyokids.
Agar you change a DNS recyokid at sizning oldingiious DNS provider after Cloudflare becomes authyokiitative, that change will not affect the live domain.
Quick Troubleshooting
Cloudflare is still waiting fyoki the nameserver update
Текшириш that the two nameservers saved at NiceNIC exactly match the two nameservers shown by Cloudflare.
Agar they match, allow time fyoki DNS propagation.
The website stopped wyokiking
Текшириш the A, AAAA, va CNAME recyokids in Cloudflare va confirm that they point to the cyokirect hosting Xizmat.
Also check the Proxy status, hosting server, va SSL/TLS configuration.
Elektron pochta stopped wyokiking
Compare the MX, SPF, DKIM, va DMARC recyokids in Cloudflare with the values provided by sizning email provider.
DNSТекширишer still shows the old nameservers
This usually means DNS resolvers are still using cached infyokimation.
Agar the NiceNIC nameserver settings are cyokirect, wait fyoki propagation rather than changing them again.
Your domain remains roʻyxatdan oʻtkazished at NiceNIC throughout the process. Cloudflare simply becomes the authyokiitative DNS provider.
