Hi
i had a website builder site with an hostinger host that i changed few days ago. now i have an hostgator host. i changed on my Cloudflare domain the new dns and IP given by hostgator. after 12hours it still doesnt work: why ? when i type the domain i have with Cloudflare it writes : Sorry, this page doesn’t exist. Please check the URL or go back a page. 404 Error. Page Not Found. what do i have to do ?
thank you
404 means that your webserver replied to the request but doesn’t have the requested website available. This means there is no problem with DNS.
You will have to make sure that you configured your webserver correctly.
thank you Laudian
for the server ; i update the field A with the IP of hostgator
i also saw that there is an answer only when i change the SSL connection from end to end to flexible. if this is end to end connection it doesnt work. but now i find like fake publicities on my page and wordpress that i try to install is not showing me even the main admin page. i only have fake links about spam.
may you help me with this ?
THANK YOU
You should probably disable Cloudflare and make sure your site is working as intended before you reenable it. To do this, you change from proxied 
to DNS only 
.
You should then make sure that you have a valid SSL certificate for your domain installed and that you have added your domain in your webservers configuration.
to DNS only .i did it and receive two messages : the connexion is not secured, maybe someone try to attack your website, it is preferable to not continue to go to this website
and if i ask to continue : to access to the website : the 404 error comes back : the url doesnt exist
how can i check my valid SSL certificate ?
on hostgator, in the window DOMAINS, i dont see my domain. there is a possibility to register a domain and a possibility to transfer a domain
what do i have to do ?
i asked them, they said i have to wait the propagation of the DNS. i made the modification already 15-16hours ago.
THANK YOU
There is nothing to wait for, as your webserver is already responding.
I cannot help you with configuring Hostgator as I know absolutely nothing about it. You will have to install a valid SSL certificate however (you can get one following this tutorial.
The 404 error either means the requested page is not uploaded onto your server or that your server does not recognize the domain. You will have to add the domain to the server configuration somewhere, unless the server has a catch-all configured to serve the same page for all domains.
thank you Laudian,
I asked them once again, they gave me another IP for the hostagtor server, updated their database and it works !
THANK YOU
