You can add subdomains of external domains: https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/platform/custom-domains/#add-a-custom-subdomain
Custom domains · Cloudflare Pages docs
When deploying your Pages project, you may wish to point custom domains (or subdomains) to your site.
so if I want to point to custom domain from external domains, I've to change the
nameserver I can't just change CNAME or A records?Only for the apex/root (ex: you can't add externaldnsdomain.com, but you can add www.externaldnsdomain.com)
If you are deploying to a subdomain, it is not necessary for your site to be a Cloudflare zone. You will need to add a custom CNAME record to point the domain to your Cloudflare Pages site. To deploy your Pages project to a custom apex domain, that custom domain must be a zone on the Cloudflare account you have created your Pages project on.
Okay!! for root domain alone I've to modify the nameserver, else not required!!!
also Sir, currently I've deployed one Nextjs App on CF Pages, and it'd created a sub-domain, but the name of the project is little wrong, can it be possible to modify it?
You can modify the name of projects but not the *.pages.dev URL without recreating it
"by a little wrong" do you mean how it forces it to be unique by adding characters to the end?
I mean
repo---name.pages.dev, so here repo---name had extra hyphen which I want to remove, can it be possible?You can modify the name of the project/ how it'll show in the dashboard, but that won't change the pages.dev URL, that's permanent. Could only delete and recreate to change that
Understood!!.. Yes I was able to rename the project name, however wasn't able to modify the url
