Nameservers Issue for My Domain
Hi, I had been using my domain successfully with nameservers: ben.ns.cloudflare.com, coco.ns.cloudflare.com and I deleted the domain to reset it (which was the biggest mistake that I made) because I was facing issue with gitlab pages verification (I didn't know about cloudflare pages that time otherwise I wouldn't have to delete the domain). I added the domain again and found that there are new Nameservers assigned to me now. I have a registered domain registered upto 2033 but due to issue on the domain registrar, nameservers are are not propogating. Is it possible to get my old Nameservers assigned to me?

This is a #general-help thing but no, it's actually done for security reasons that they're not the same
To prevent domain hijacking, you can no longer preset Cloudflare nameservers at your registrar before creating the respective zone in Cloudflare. If you preset your nameservers and then add the domain, your domain will be assigned a new pair of nameservers.https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/reference/nameserver-assignment/
I didn't preset the nameservers, I just deleted and re-add the same domain. How can I fix this issue now. My account can be checked if I had been using the same domain for last one year or not.
Is there any way to contact the admin to assign me the old nameservers?
Right, by doing so you added it while having the default nameservers preset, so it assigned new ones for security reasons. That exact feature is intended to stop what you're trying to do and ensure all zones added to Cloudflare are manually verified
Is there any other way to verify ? I can even het it verified by sharing my registrat password to the admin in private chat so that he can verify that I am the owner of the domain. Registrat is freenom which stopped its operation whereas my domain is registered up to 2033 and is working if my nameservers are the one I mentioned above. New nameservers are not being propogated due to the reason.
No and please note no one legit will ever ask you for that information or accept it
Those freenom domains are already going away, I would wager way before 2033 before they lose DNS entirely. Proper domains afford you way more protections and rights
OK thanks for your time.
If I have trouble adding a new website to Cloudflare, where do I look for a solution?
