a client of mine has external DNS servers – the domain registrar is one and the name servers another – the latter located on Cloudflare.
The problem is I don’t have access to the name servers and therefore the DNS settings, they are located on an inactive account where no passwords is available.
I’m going to relink it to a new website.
What I’m wondering is if I change the external DNS servers, the name servers, to point to a new name server, inputing all the old records on the new name server (in this case I will use cloudflare once more) (see below) – will all the functionality remain, the email, etc… – or am I missing something critical, perhaps something to do with SPF records? I don’t want to loose any functionality of the website or mail whilst doing this.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help

I haven’t yet tried, however, I don’t want the website to have any downtime or the mail adresses not working.
