A record for siteground site with subdomain

What is the name of the domain?

https://wpbuffalo.com

What is the issue you’re encountering

Can’t point the domain

What feature, service or problem is this related to?

DNS records

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

How can I point it to https://elizabethf20.sg-host.com/ ?
I put the IP address in as an a record but it won’t resolve.

The domain wpbuffalo.com resolves to 35.212.51.1xx. Your problem is not DNS resolution.

The URL https://wpbuffalo.com gives a security warning (SSL certificate mismatch error) because it’s using a certificate for gvam1279.siteground.biz. When I proceed past the warning screen, it eventually loads a default Siteground page.

So this is not a DNS or Cloudflare issue.

Please contact your hosting provider (Siteground) for help to:

  1. Provision an SSL certificate for your domain wpbuffalo.com
  2. Configure your hosting account for your domain to display your existing WordPress site, rather than their default page.

After this gets sorted and your site works correctly, consider enabling Cloudflare Proxy again so Cloudflare can protect and accelerate your site.

Good luck!
