Validation status
When you validate a custom hostname, that hostname can be in several different statuses.
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Pending | Custom hostname is pending hostname validation. |
| Active | Custom hostname has completed hostname validation and is active. |
| Active re-deploying | Customer hostname is active and the changes have been processed. |
| Blocked | Custom hostname cannot be added to Cloudflare at this time. Custom hostname was likely associated with Cloudflare previously and flagged for abuse. If you are an Enterprise customer, contact your Customer Success Manager. Otherwise, email abusereply@cloudflare.com with the name of the web property and a detailed explanation of your association with this web property. |
| Moved | Custom hostname is not active after Pending for the entirety of the Validation Backoff Schedule or it no longer points to the fallback origin. |
| Deleted | Custom hostname was deleted from the zone. Occurs when status is Moved for more than seven days. |
To run the custom hostname validation check again, select Refresh on the dashboard or send a PATCH request to the Edit custom hostname endpoint. If using the API, make sure that the --data field contains an ssl object with the same method and type as the original request.
If the hostname is in a Moved or Deleted state, the refresh will set the custom hostname back to Pending validation.
