I’d recommend against this if you are using Cloudflare for DNS or Proxying. If they decide to close your account then you’ll lose access to your domains too. Whereas if you register them elsewhere, you’ll at least have a path to recovery in the event of Cloudflare account closure or catastrophic failure.
+1 here... a few weeks ago, it wouldn't have been nearly the concern for me, where today it definitely is.
Did cloudflare do something bad in recent weeks and I missed it?
Have have both my dns and domains at cloudflare ...
Regardless of the parties involved, it's always advisable to spread risk for critical (digital) assets.
This is a really good point and something I hadn't considered. Thanks
Another issue with Cloudflare's registrar is that it's almost impossible to move a domain between two Cloudflare accounts - https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/setup/manage-.... You have to kick it out to a third-party first which is just silly.
Is this a thing? Can companies really "steal" your domain names?
Yep, GoDaddy and NameCheap are reliable registrars with good support and fast updating.
