Updating nameservers

We user Cloudflare for our DNS management. Cloudfflare is a leader in content delivery network services, cloud cybersecurity, DDoS mitigation. Ensuring Cloudflare can optimize and protect your site is of utmost importance, and one crucial step to achieve this is by updating your domain's nameservers to Cloudflare's. The nameservers serve as your primary DNS controller, determining the whereabouts of your domain on the vast Internet.

Please be aware that domain registrars may require up to 24 hours to process the nameserver updates. Once your site is successfully activated with Cloudflare, you will receive a notification email from them.
