Nameserver Configuration
So I’ve got the domain Oarti.sm and am wanting to use Cloudflare as my NS.
I’ve set the NS on my registrar to the ones provided and https://www.whatsmydns.net/ tells me the NS is correct in all but one zone that it checks.
However Cloudflare’s dashboard doesn’t pick it up and still says pending change.
Am I missing something?

You changed your nameservers at the DNS level but not at your Registrar
chaik@ash:~$ whois Oarti.sm Domain Name: oarti.sm Registration date: 22/10/2024 Status: Active .... DNS Servers: ns.inwx.com ns2.inwx.com ns3.inwx.eu
🤔
Lots of Registrars offer DNS for free and it can be confusing where to change it. Make sure you're editing the nameservers on the registrar side of things, you wouldn't be modifying NS Records directly or anything like that
It’s with INWX - do you know where I’d do that? Cause I went specifically to the name server entries and can only see the cloudflare ones listed.
Found it!
funny because iwnx is one of the few ones I do have -- it's under external nameservers action cog wheel in the domains list. Their setup is a bit weird
Yea, it was a bit obtuse. I had to pay for the change too… that’s a shame. Think I got it now
they made you pay for it? thats.. weird. Maybe something special with
sm domains I guess, will take a bit to update
