Website not loading - need help resolving DNS settings
I purchased a domain through Cloudflare but am using Bluehost/Wordpress to build my site. I included screenshots of my DNS records so far.
Where am I going wrong? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
DNS records
The domain in your screenshot is .com, but the domain you posted is .org. Which one are you having a problem with?
The .com has “too many redirects”…

…so check your SSL/TLS setting is set to “Full (strict)” in your dashboard here…
https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/ssl-tls
.org was a mistake, the correct website is growviaemail.com.
Thank you for your help! I’ve changed the HSTS settings to status on (Enable HSTS - Strict-Transport-Security - Serve HSTS headers with all HTTPS requests). Do I need to edit any settings aside from setting it to on? I attached a screenshot.
I also clicked on for the Always Use HTTPS toggle.
Will this take time to update and work correctly? (I seem to still be getting ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS)
Do this…
Thank you! I’ve made this update. I’m now getting a 526 error/ invalid SSL certificate.
Cloudflare setup check here.
This means the SSL certificate on your origin is invalid. It may have expired, be self-signed or not cover your hostnames. Pause Cloudflare, or set the DNS records to “DNS only” for now, make sure the origin certificate is updated, then you can re-enable Cloudflare.
Thank you! I’ve paused Cloudflare. For the origin certificate, is it correct that this should be done in Bluehost? In Bluehost, I went to cPanel, then Manage SSH Keys, Generate a New Key. Once it was generated, I set it to “authorized.”
Then I went back to cloudflare and Enabled Cloudflare on the domain again.
I’m still getting a 526 error, so assuming I’m doing something wrong here. Do I need to put the certificate somewhere?
Make sure the certificate on your origin is working before you re-enable Cloudflare.
I disabled Cloudflare again, and visited growviaemail.com. It seems to be redirecting to my other website now, https://jordanrubenstein.com/, which I also have on bluehost (but not with cloudflare). Realizing when I set up the new SSH key in cPanel, it may not be specific to growviaemail.com?
Your origin SSL certificate doesn’t cover the domain…
* Server certificate:
* subject: CN=webmail.jordanrubenstein.com
* start date: Jan 6 11:14:38 2025 GMT
* expire date: Apr 6 11:14:37 2025 GMT
* subjectAltName does not match host name growviaemail.com
* SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name 'growviaemail.com'
* Closing connection
