Nameserver update causing website to be inaccessible
I have been using cloudlflare for my website https://lordimass.net with no issues for a while now, when I set it up all I did was change the nameservers on Squarespace (where I bought the domain from) to my assigned cloudflare nameservers. Now I'm trying to do the same with my other website, https://reformationfundraising.com: I changed the nameservers and now I'm slowly getting reports from people saying the website has gone down, Cloudflare does not recognise that the nameservers have been changed yet but I imagine the change has broken something, and I'm not sure what it is or what information you need to help diagnose the problem. Is it safe to show screenshots with the nameserver names here?

Is it safe to show screenshots with the nameserver names here?Yes, nameservers are publicly viewable/not sensitive To me, it looks like you most likely misspelled the domain when you added it in Cloudflare. Those two nameservers you have set currently and all the other CF ones do not respond authoritatively
omg i did
I wrote reformationfundaising.com lmao
how do I change that?
just have to add it correctly anew and then can delete the misspelled one
worth noting you're going to get two different new nameservers to switch to, to prevent Domain hijacking CF won't pick nameservers already set for that domain
yep yep ok. Also, while I'm here, am I able to set up two domains on the free plan on one cloudflare account? I made a second account at some point and trying to work out why I would have done that lol
Yes. There is no limit, seen one person with ~15k free zones or something crazy on a single account
lmao thats brilliant. I figured since it uses the same name servers it could be an issue but now that I think about it that doesn't make sense right?
You don't need a unique pair of nameservers per domain if that's what you're saying
there's no limits to the amount of domains that can use the same nameservers
Yeah I was (wrongly) under the impression you did
all sorted now and website should be up and running with cloudflare ^^
