In case Cloudflare’s DNS servers stop working properly, we can switch the DNS servers to GoDaddy’s DNS and upload all the records from a file.
For it we need make some changes in domain control panel on GoDaddy side:
-
Login to GoDaddy, click to My Products
-
Find domain saclab.com and click DNS
-
Under Nameservers, click Change Nameservers
-
Before change Nameservers save current nameservers, current nameservers Name Server: ADRIAN.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM and YOXALL.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM, we will use thethes, when will back to the CludFlare DNS, after that Choose: GoDaddy Nameservers and press Save
-
From this moment, we are using GoDaddy DNS servers (nsXX.domaincontrol.com, nsYY.domaincontrol.com).
To configure our domain records on these DNS servers, we need to go to DNS Records – Actions – Import Zone File (the zone file can be downloaded at the bottom of this page).
-
After that we a ready to upload file with domain records:
-
Choose the file and upload:
-
When file uploaded press Apply Zone File
From this moment we a configured our domain on GoDaddy DNS servers and upload dns records. When CloudFlare recovery the services we should back DNS to the CloudFlare. For it we should back the setting with we changed on Step 4
-
Change back to the CloudFlare DNS:
If we change or add any DNS record on the Cloudflare side (for example, A, CNAME, TXT, etc.), we need to create a new file named saclab.com_YYYY_MM_DD.txt and upload it on this page.
This will help us always keep up-to-date information about our domain.
