hello mate, i will be glad to get some help here.

My blog site was hosted on Namecheap and also linked to Cloudflare, so yesterday i decided to migrate to hostwinds host, the migration went successfully, and the DNS was changed on Cloudflare

but now i am facing some issues, i noticed that my site still working from NameCheap, after I deleted my files on Namecheap and noticed that my site went off

please i need help , should i remove my site from cloudflare and point domain direct to hostwinds or is there anyother thing i should do

Try point it to host wind first. Ones it propagates you can then pop t it to cloud flare
 
Login to your Cloudflare account, check the DNS tab if your A record points to Hostwinds server IP.

I only changed the DNS as directed by hostwinds support , the A record seems to be namacheap or even the SVR

It takes some time for DNS servers to switch to your new nameservers. Google 'DNS propagation'. Can take up to 72 hours.
 
If you're still using Cloudflare, you should go to DNS settings from Cloudflare and point the A record to the IP address that Hostwinds gave you in your hosting welcome email. If you're using Hostwinds's cPanel, then login to your cPanel, and you should find your server IP from there. Place it on the Cloudflare's A record.

Alternatively, as raregem009 suggested, point to HostWinds DNS first. When the propagation is done, you can add to CloudFlare again.
 
it will take some times.
or delete your site in cloudflare and add again on cloudflare & change nameserver on domain panel
 
Thanks you all for your suggestion

I think I will go with this option , because the support seems to be a bit confused about my request


Now they have me
mdns4.hostwindsdns.com
mdns4.hostwindsdns.com

as nameserver but is different from the one on my host account
