      Can I use CloudFlare as a domain registrar and AgentFire website?

      To have your AgentFire website active, you'll need to use our specific name servers.

       

      Unfortunately, using CNAME's or A records with our service isn't an option, so CloudFlare isn't compatible as your domain registrar if you plan to use AgentFire for your website.

      You can find more details in our Terms of Service.

      If you are currently using CloudFlare, you will have to transfer your domain to a different registrar. The transfer process usually takes 7 to 10 days.

       

      Please note that AgentFire only hosts websites and is not a domain registrar.

      But why do I need to point my Nameservers to you? 

      Great question.  There are two major reasons for this.  

      1. We use a global CDN with direct API integration: Your website will be placed on our CloudFlare.com account, which refers to a geographically distributed group of servers that work together to provide fast delivery of your content. The CDN allows for the quick transfer of all your pages, images, and videos. Use of the CDN also helps protect your website from any malicious attack while boosting performance considerably but requires that we control the DNS Zone File.

      2. DNS zone files can be confusing: The last thing we want is to put you in a position where you are in unfamiliar territory that can prove both frustrating and time-consuming to correct errors that can prevent your site or other related services from working properly. A DNS Zone file is all your DNS Records in one area(TTL, NS, MX, A & CNAME for example).

      Remember: This is just a guide, and specific steps may vary depending on your chosen hosting provider and domain registrar. Always refer to their official documentation or contact their support for accurate instructions.
