Change Nameservers

Update nameservers at the site where you bought your domain. Not sure where? Check your purchase history.

  1. 1 Log into where you bought your domain (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.)
  2. 2 Find Domain Management → Nameserver Settings
  3. 3 Remove existing nameservers and enter the 2 Cloudflare nameservers from step 1 → Save
  4. 4 Go back to Cloudflare dashboard → click "Check nameservers"
  5. 5 Usually takes 10min–1hr. You'll get an email when it's done
Tip: Your site stays online during this change. Cloudflare already copied your DNS records. You can always revert to original nameservers if needed.

FAQ

Will my server change?

No. Cloudflare only relays traffic. Your origin server and hosting remain the same.

Is the API token safe?

It only has Worker/KV permissions — no access to domain settings or billing. Encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Revocable anytime.

How do I stop using theXEO?

Disconnect from the dashboard. The Worker is deleted and your site returns to its original state.
