- In this video, we will transfer a domain from Namecheap to Cloudflare, so that we can take advantage of Cloudflare's cheap domain renewal prices.
This guide assumes that you have already added your website to Cloudflare (e.g. - changed the domain nameservers to Cloudflare's nameservers).
If you HAVE NOT completed this first step, please follow this guide: www.namecheap.com/support/kno...
Once you've done this, you can easily transfer your domain into Cloudflare and renew your domain.
If you have any questions, or if you get stuck, leave a comment below.
- If you're looking to buy a NEW domain name, check out Namecheap: www.wiyre.com/recommends/name...
- Need web hosting? Check out Siteground! They are great for Wordpress sites: www.wiyre.com/recommends/site...
Both of these options are affordable, easy, and best of all, it helps support this channel, at no additional cost to you!
Thanks for the help 💥💯
you never mentioned how to request a transfer to CF. The domain was just already there in the vid
Hi @catchcooklife - There isn't a "request a transfer" option for moving domains from one registrar to Cloudflare, you simply just change the nameservers on your domain. The instructions to do so are quite simple (and will show your domain like mine in your Cloudflare account): developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/get-started/setup/add-site/
@@Wiyre Thanks!
@@Wiyre "you simply just change the nameservers on your domain."
yeah. this was a pretty important piece of the process that wasn;t mentioned in the video.
Came here to say this. This is definitely an important piece.
@@Wiyre The instructions aren't that simple, honestly. We tried these first and was hoping for a video explanation to clear up the confusion.
Can I unlock it while it's name servers are being updated?
Does Cloudflare not force you to set up Cloudflare DNS pointing to your site host before transfer? What if there is no live site, is that what you showed?
does anyone know if i can have regular email routing to a email client using cloudflare WITHOUT forwarding?
So when transferring domains into CF- how do we avoid giving personal information - which can be queried later under WHOIS etc?
very confusing. few parts helpful, though. Didn't cover changing dns servers.
Hmm, i dont have the option "transfer domains" under domains. I only have manage domains and register domains :(
You have to verify your email when you have created your account.
Will the new registrar (cloudfare) honor the expiration date of the previous one (namecheap)? Will it ask you for payment then? If not, how much time in advance should I do this transfer?
Yes, they have to. Typically the way it works is you will purchase another year on cloudflare on top of what is currently left. That's how my transfers have gone.
@@b2rad great, thanks!
