Hi
Is there any way to delegate subdomain to cloudflare? I want to move large project on CF services.
But first want do it as mirror app.example.com -> app.next.example.com
I can delegate NS for next.example.com. But CF not allow register such name.

You would want https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/subdomain-setup/ or https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/partial-setup/ (Enterprise or above)
Cloudflare Docs
Subdomain setup · Cloudflare DNS docs
When you use a subdomain setup, you can manage the Cloudflare configurations for one or more subdomains separately from those associated with your apex domain. This means that, on your account homepage ↗, you would find websites like example.com or blog.example.com listed as separate zones.

A partial (CNAME) setup allows you to use Cloudflare's reverse proxy while maintaining your primary and authoritative DNS provider.
I want to realize working project under CF, to use an example to justify the transition of the entire company from the current architecture. But I can't migrate the main domain now.
Looks like the only thing to do is buy a temporary copy ( Would be nice just make NS for next.example.com park to CF free to add subdomain app1-100.next.example.com connect other services. And after fast and in one touch repeat all for main domain

What is it that prevents you from moving
example.com to CF, then pointing app1-100.next.example.com to whatever external provider you use?tonnes of infrastructure, tools to automate dns management written for another provider. And of course the working example is CF does the job better.
If there is no way, and it's not my lack of knowledge. Then no problem, I will do the same with new domain example12345.com
different it will looks ugly )
