Error
Try the suggestions in this Community Tip to help you fix the error message “Ineligible for SSL” when enabling a zone for Universal SSL on Cloudflare.
Background
The error “Ineligible for SSL” on the SSL/TLS app of the Cloudflare dashboard indicates the zone has been added to Cloudflare via a partial partner set up and is ineligible for Universal SSL. When this happens, you’ll need to resolve the issue with your hosting provider or add the zone directly to your Cloudflare account and control the zone settings via the Cloudflare dashboard.
Quick Fix Ideas
-
The error “Ineligible for SSL” cannot be changed by Cloudflare. You’ll need to contact your hosting provider directly to see what SSL options they offer.
-
Remove your Cloudflare setup at the partner and add the zone directly through your own Cloudflare account. Make note of your origin IP address and any other DNS settings that you may need to re-create in Cloudflare.

Security Option
If you need a deeper subdomain with HTTPS, such as www.subdomain.example.com, then you should consider Advanced Certificate Manager, to cover more than one level of subdomain, remove Cloudflare branding from the Universal certificate, or adjust the shortest certificate lifespan.
