Hi. Im a little confused by something. My main domain is on cloudflare. Most of the A records are proxied.
This main domain has a subdomain.
This subdomain is associated to its own domain name.
Now, cpanel SSL is giving me warning about the subdomain and its domain name.
For the subdomain, it says “The installed certificate does not cover this domain. The certificate will not renew via AutoSSL because it was not issued via AutoSSL”
For the subdomain’s domain name, it says “Domain Validated
Expires on October 27, 2021. The certificate will not renew via AutoSSL because it was not issued via AutoSSL”
In cloudflare, the DNS records have no matches for this subdomain or its domain name.
What does all this mean? Should my SSL for this subdomain and its domain name be with cloudflare or cpanel? If cloudflare, how do i add it?
Cpanel emailed me saying the subdomain ssl expires soon, and that the domain name will lose ssl coverage. I dont know how to renew this ssl for the subdomain.
If using AutoSSL from cPanel, to renew it (including the one which covers all of your sub-domains too), you could temporary disable () on the DNS records or toggle Pause Cloudflare on Site option for your Website.
Usually, I knew to switch from (proxied) to (DNS-only) cloud, wait for a few minutes, then wen to cPanel and run the AutoSSL to generate a new SSL certificate.
After the process finished and completed, I switched back from (DNS-only) to cloud (proxied) and all done
Just to keep a note, keep the A mail record (or some other hostname regarding your e-mail) (DNS-only) to make sure it works propperly:
May I just add a note, the only issue I assume it could be if using a sub-domain with it’s www prefix too, like example www.sub.yourdomain.com instead of linking to any resource from sub.yourdomain.com at your production Website
That way, you would have the issue like below stated:
