Changed my nameservers, but Cloudflare can't detect them.
Randomly, Cloudflare removed me from my own domain, even though I didn't change a thing. I used this domain on Cloudflare for email routing and I used some emails there for accounts I now need, my domain is "tekcor.ml", if that helps. I do not know what is going on but, I've tried fixing this for the past few weeks and nothing seems to work.

Oh and as you can see, Cloudflare doesn't detect them.
That looks like a freenom domain. I know they’d had issues in the past but how long has it been since you updated them?
Yeah it is from freenom, last time I updated them was like 2 weeks ago, I also just did it again a few minutes before I made this ticket thing
I have another freenom domain on cloudflare and that one is working fine
its .tk though
My understanding was that Freenom lost ml https://domainincite.com/28897-freenom-is-losing-another-cctld-after-collecting-military-emails
Ah that’s were I recognize it from
But yea ml nameservers respond saying your domain doesn't exist
dig ns tekcor.ml @a.nic.ml ; <<>> DiG 9.18.19-1~deb12u1-Debian <<>> ns tekcor.ml @a.nic.ml ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 50044 ;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; WARNING: recursion requested but not available
Oh damn, what should I do then?
I have no idea the exact state of freenom other then crumbling or if they have any control at all still but you could try contacting them
otherwise, pay for a proper domain and you gain ICANN's protections, ability to transfer, etc. I understand not everyone can do that, but via Porkbun or CF Registrar they can be pretty cheap, $10-15/year depending on TLD and name
10-15 a year??? that is cheap
.com is 9.77 usd/year, .net is ~10.10 via CF Registrar. Pretty cheap, just have to find one available that you like. Some others, especially country owned ones (ccTLDs) like
gg can get pretty pricey, but a lot are more affordable. You can get 99c per year numerical xyz (like 999999.xyz) domains via Porkbun: https://gen.xyz/numberTeam XYZ
.xyz Domain Names | Join Generation XYZ
Numeric .XYZ Domains | .xyz Domain Names | Join Generation XYZ
i cant seem to find CF Registrar?
opps by Cf I mean Cloudflare, Cloudflare Registrar. It's in your dashboard, under Domain Registration: https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/domains/register
You get no markup on domains, but you have to use Cloudflare's Nameservers/DNS. Just keep that in mind. Otherwise Porkbun gives you complete freedom for a bit more cost, and more TLDs supported
might go for Porkbun then, both the .com and .net domains I want are already taken so I might just go with a .one
