Don't worry. It'll get stable. Just wait 
A Massive Rank Drop
- Thread starter Adiuvat
- Start date
Want to give some updates.
The traffic back after 5 days after drop, then going drop again after 4 days for 6 days.
And finally, the traffic is coming back.
I assume that it happens because there are massive links coming from the old domain, and those links coming at once.
Thanks for the response guys
Good for you!
Can you please give us another update in few days. I am in a similar position with one of our projects but I had much more changed than just the domain (switched cms) and I am not having any luck.
We had a huge rank drop while getting offline for about 1 hour by namecheap since we are using dedicated solution. But now i feel how it is important for you to use cloudflare to save rankings even if you change hosting but still not sure about the domain.

I think expired domains are a bit risky. Once, I ranked two sites with two expired domains, they both ranked top 3 withing three weeks and a week or two after they went down to page two. Now I don't even think they exist.
But still, I am just about to try it with a foreign language website. I won't cry if this fails too, but for the last time at least, I will try!

What happened to my rank drop is maybe because of huge incoming links 301 redirected from the old domain. There are thousands of incoming links, though.
How long have you wait?
I do always use Cloudflare
Mine was expiring domain, got it from the auction. And yes, I did a lot of research about that domain.
Good luck!
