Changed nameservers once already and would like to setup Cloudflare. Will this work?
Hey everyone! I was hoping I could get some insight on setting up cloudflare for the current setup that I have.
I originially purchased a domain from a hosting provider, then decided to switch hosting to a new provider. So, I switched name servers once already. Now I would like to setup cloudflare. If I change the name servers to the assigned cloudlare ones on the original hosting provider, will the new hosting provider I have still work once cloudflare is enabled?
It pulled all the records from the new provider so im assuming nothing will change in that regard, but just wanted to clarify before making this change. I would like to keep downtime at the bare minimum during this.

Helped in #general-discussions, for anyone else seeing this in the future:
- You change your nameservers at your Registrar, independent of your host
- In CF, you point DNS record (A/AAAA/CNAME) at your hosting provider.
- If you want to switch, you simply change those again in CF to point at the new host
