CF used to encouraged people to move to Workers instead of using Pages. They recently removed the message in their landing page that said so (just checked, you could visit Wayback Machine to verify), so I guess Pages will still be available anyway. Btw the best thing that Pages gives out is allowing people to use different domain from another domain registry when Workers force user move their domain to CF.

Workers require you to use CF as a domain registry? Where is that written and what possible reason do they give for it? That's quite an imposition.

[rajeevk]

Not the domain registry but CF wants to manage the DNS to make it work. If you do not want them to manage your DNS and want to work by simply pointing your CNAME, they ask you start with their business plan ($250 / per month)

[pjc50]

Right, but that's not the same thing and is intrinsic to how CF works - routing DNS requests from different areas to different IPs. Is there any good reason not to just let them serve your DNS if they're serving your website?

(will they accept a delegated subdomain?)

[jonathanlydall]

They don't accept delegated subdomains, at least not for .net and .com domains (I haven't tried others).

I don't see how it's "intrinsic to how CF works" that they need to host your DNS records, especially when they don't require it on more expensive plans.

That being said, I don't mind them hosting my DNS records, but it would have been nice if they supported importing zone files from Azure DNS.
