It doesn't sound like it actually deleted anything other than the DNS entries. It's not like any actual data got lost.

I dunno, but DNS entries are actual data.

I certainly don’t know what all the DNs entries on my 15 domains are, so if they disappear it’s not going to be easy to get it all back.

I hope for your sake that right now you are fixing that problem?

More like another thing has been added to the TODO list.

(OP here)

It appeared to me as though they deleted my domain registration from their system. That's mostly why I freaked out. I wasn't sure if I'd even be able to transfer my registration easily.

However, on the advice of someone from HN, I found that if I went through the flow of linking an external domain to my cloudflare account the registration details came back.
