What I Wanted to Do

Use a Cloudflare Pages custom domain with a domain registered on Xserver.

Steps

  1. In Cloudflare, select “Connect a domain” — two nameserver addresses are generated
  2. Log in to the Xserver domain management panel
  3. Go to “ネームサーバー設定” → select “その他のサービスで利用する”
  4. Enter the two Cloudflare nameserver addresses and save
  5. Back in Cloudflare, click “I updated my nameservers”
  6. Wait 30 minutes to 1 hour for status to become Active

Common Pitfalls

  • Cloudflare has separate areas for Workers and Pages — make sure you’re in the right one
  • Propagation takes time — be patient and don’t click verify too early
  • After going Active, you still need to go back and activate the custom domain in Pages settings (two-step process)

Once the nameservers are Active, continue with Set Up a Custom Domain on Cloudflare Pages with Xserver to finish the domain activation.
