# Can I Use My Own Cloudflare Account With My AgentFire Website?

Why your domain's nameservers must point to AgentFire, and what to do if your domain is registered with or managed in Cloudflare.

No. Your AgentFire website runs on AgentFire's own Cloudflare account, so your domain's nameservers must point to the nameservers we give you. Pointing the domain from your own Cloudflare account, or with A or CNAME records, doesn't work and usually breaks the site.

You can still buy and keep your domain wherever you like. Only the nameservers need to point to us.

## Why the nameservers have to point to AgentFire

Your site sits behind our Cloudflare setup, which handles:

* **Speed:** your pages, images and videos load from servers around the world.
* **Security:** a firewall blocks attacks before they reach your site.
* **SSL:** the padlock certificate is set up and renewed automatically.

All of this only works when our Cloudflare account manages your domain's DNS. That's also why we add and change DNS records for you instead of giving out Cloudflare logins. See [How to Add or Change DNS Records](/launch/redirects-and-dns-management/how-to-add-or-change-dns-records.md).

## If your domain is in Cloudflare

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Registered with Cloudflare" %}
Cloudflare Registrar doesn't let you change nameservers, so the domain has to move to another registrar first, such as GoDaddy or Namecheap.

1. Transfer the domain out of Cloudflare to your new registrar. Transfers usually take 7 to 10 days.
2. Send us your current DNS records so nothing (like your email) breaks. See [How to Send Us Your DNS Records](/faqs-and-general/common-questions/how-to-send-us-your-dns-zone-records.md).
3. When your site is ready to go live, set the nameservers at your new registrar to the ones we give you.
   {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Registered elsewhere, managed in your Cloudflare" %}
If you bought the domain somewhere else but added it to your own Cloudflare account, you don't need to transfer anything.

1. Send us your current DNS records first. See [How to Send Us Your DNS Records](/faqs-and-general/common-questions/how-to-send-us-your-dns-zone-records.md).
2. When your site is ready to go live, change the nameservers at your registrar to the ones we give you.
3. Remove the domain from your own Cloudflare account.
   {% endtab %}
   {% endtabs %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Don't change nameservers before we've copied your DNS records. If you use email on your domain, it can stop working until the records are back in place.
{% endhint %}

## Common Questions

<details>

<summary>My site shows "Error 1000" or "Access denied" after I changed something in Cloudflare.</summary>

That happens when the domain points to your own Cloudflare account instead of ours. Change the nameservers back to the ones we gave you, or email <support@agentfire.com> and we'll tell you which ones to use.

<summary>Can I have access to my DNS settings?</summary>

Not directly. Send us the record you need, such as a verification or email record, and our team adds it for you. See [How to Add or Change DNS Records](/launch/redirects-and-dns-management/how-to-add-or-change-dns-records.md).
