I would be glad to use cloudflares domain registry. But anyone else worried that to much of the net is already tied up with them

Yes, and I'd add AWS and Google to the count, albeit for slightly different reasons.

Yes. Is there a good CF Tunnel alternative for production use?

Not sure how you define production use in this case - but tailscale funnel might be an option even though they're still labeled beta?

Too bad they don’t support custom name servers.

They do, but:

I was similarly confused, I recall seeing this in the UI -- looking again, it seems I need to upgrade to the business plan.

That's disheartening. Pay more for us to do less.

The document you've provided extends my confusion.

Both the 'Primary (Full setup)' and 'Secondary DNS' pages it calls out... seem to indicate that CloudFlare has to stay in the mix. Either the authoritative nameserver (defeating the point), or as a child receiving transfers.

This feels deliberately obtuse.

Edit: The peer comment from V99 helped me understand. This is their vanity solution - still CF. Reportedly cannot place the SOA elsewhere

Still no support for IDN domains though..

If your domain is domain-with-âççéñþß.com Could you register the punycode variant? xn--domain-with-ss-mhb4fa0b6kuk.com

Nope, I tried, all documentation says that they are not supported.

The release notes from 2021 say that they are “working on it”, so I hope they will be done soon..

For those looking for a CF alternative, I have my .dev at Porkbun and am happy with them.

I'm in the process of moving my domains to Porkbun. Of course, I was leaning on the included mail forwards that Google provided, so that part has been fun.
