After purchase, the domain does not yet know where your website is hosted. Point it to your server or hosting platform.

​
What to use

​
Connect by IP

1

Open DNS settings

My domains → select the domain → DNS settings → Add record → A.
2

Set the name

For the root domain, send @ or tap Skip. For a subdomain, enter only its label, such as blog.
3

Set the IP

Send the server IPv4 address, for example 203.0.113.10.
4

Add www if needed

Create another A record named www with the same IP, or point a www CNAME at the root domain.
New A records are proxied through Cloudflare by default. Keep that setting for a regular website. If your platform requires DNS only, open the record and tap Disable proxy.

​
Connect with CNAME

If a site builder or platform gives you a CNAME, copy its name and value exactly. For shop.example.com, the record name is usually only shop. Some platforms require DNS only. In that case, open the new CNAME and disable proxying.

​
Change nameservers

Use this option only when the provider gave you two nameservers and will manage DNS itself.
1

Copy both nameservers

Example: ns1.provider.com ns2.provider.com.
2

Send them in the bot

My domains → domain → Change NS. Paste both hosts separated by a space.
3

Manage DNS at the new provider

After the change, records in Lumi no longer control the domain.
With external nameservers, Lumi DNS, SSL, protection, and redirects do not work. If you later open one of those sections, the bot will offer to reconnect the domain to Cloudflare and change the nameservers automatically.
Changes normally become visible within minutes. If the domain still returns old data after 24 hours, follow the troubleshooting checklist.
