My domain registrar is DreamHost. I originally had DO manage it, and then I let Cloudflare take over. Does this mean I can safely remove the domain from DO?

Hi @keebs82,
Yes, once you have your DNS controlled by Cloudflare you can remove the one in DigitalOcean. The same goes for the other way around. If you ever decide to switch back, as soon as you have the DNS and NameServers transferred over then it’s safe to delete the DNS zone from the other panel.
The most important thing is where your Nameservers are pointing at. That’s where your DNS is being controlled.
