Onboard a domain to Cloudflare nameservers

ClueDNS knowledge path
Cloudflare, with the boundaries labeled
Provider-specific instructions are dated, sourced from official documentation, and kept separate from portable DNS concepts.
Proxied or DNS-only
Understand when Cloudflare answers with its edge addresses and when DNS exposes the configured origin.
DNSSEC sequencing
Coordinate DS and DNSKEY state so a provider move does not leave validating resolvers with a bogus chain.
DNS, TLS, HTTP, and origin
Keep each layer separate when a hostname resolves but a proxied application still fails.
