DNS Setup
Use this section when you need to point your domain at One Acre Web's Cloudflare-managed DNS.
What This Usually Means
In most cases, we will ask you to change your domain's nameservers to the Cloudflare nameservers assigned to your site.
For One Acre Web-managed zones, the nameservers we currently ask clients to use are:
evangeline.ns.cloudflare.comzod.ns.cloudflare.com
Once that is done:
- One Acre Web can manage the DNS for your website in Cloudflare.
- Future DNS changes should usually be made by us in Cloudflare, not in your registrar account.
- Your registrar stays the same unless we separately arrange a domain transfer.
Before You Change Anything
- Use the exact pair supplied by One Acre Web:
evangeline.ns.cloudflare.comandzod.ns.cloudflare.com. - Do not swap in other Cloudflare nameservers unless One Acre Web tells you to.
- Check whether you use email on the domain. Changing nameservers moves DNS control, so existing mail records must still be present in Cloudflare.
- If your registrar uses domain lock, domain protection, or DNSSEC, you may need to confirm or temporarily disable those features before the change will save.
Generic Nameserver Change Process
- Sign in to the company where your domain is registered.
- Open the domain management area for the correct domain.
- Find the
Nameserverssetting. - Choose the option to use custom nameservers or your own nameservers.
- Replace the current nameservers with:
evangeline.ns.cloudflare.comandzod.ns.cloudflare.com - Save the change and complete any identity or security confirmation.
- Let One Acre Web know once the change has been submitted.
What Happens Next
- Many registrars apply the change quickly, but global propagation can still take up to 24 to 48 hours.
- During that period, the site or email may appear inconsistent in different places.
- Once the nameservers are live, Cloudflare becomes the authoritative DNS provider for the domain.
If You Cannot Change Nameservers
Some setups are more restrictive, especially when a domain is bundled into another website platform or reseller flow.
If you cannot find a nameserver setting, or the platform refuses the change:
- stop before making partial DNS edits;
- send One Acre Web the registrar name and the exact issue you are seeing;
- we can then advise on the correct workaround, transfer, or alternative setup.
