I setup a cpanel for “ashebashea” with reseller and used the domain “ashebashea.com” which was bought on Cloudflare. I allowed the cpanel to use the hostnames/dns of the domain and later Installed wordpress in cpanel, but when I go to the domain, the site does not come up like the domain inputted has a typo or something which infact it does not. I created a sub-domain and installed wordpress and still faced the same problem. Also checked the SSL/TLS Status and the domains seemed not to have ssl activated so I did autossl on them and still they’re not activated too.
What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?
I have terminated the cpanel and added it again for the domain but still get the same issue.
What are the steps to reproduce the issue?
I created a sub-domain and installed wordpress and still faced the same problem
Note that as your domain must use Cloudflare’s nameservers, you must make all DNS record changes in Cloudflare, not in cPanel.
Specifically, go to your Cloudflare DNS page for your domain and create various DNS records to connect your domain to your cPanel server. At a minimum, you need:
An A record for @ (corresponding to ashebashea.com) → cPanel IP address. Set this to Proxied to have Cloudflare protect your site.
Another A record for www (for www.ashebashea.com) → cPanel IP address. Set this to Proxied as well.
Ditto for any subdomain you create in cPanel: you need a corresponding A-record in Cloudflare before this will work.
And if you want to use your cPanel-provided email for your domain, you must also create the appropriate MX and TXT DNS records.
Feel free to ask any follow-on questions… but also share a screenshot of your Cloudflare DNS page so we’ll know what you’ve done already and where there might be a problem.
What I meant was, when during creation of the cpanel, I change the dns of the cpanel to point to the dns of the Cloudflare domain (ashebashea.com). I did that and still the domain doenst seem to connected to cpanel.
Also I think adding additional dns is limited based on the planned I am on so I had no option to use cloudflare’s dns on the cpanel
Changing your domain’s nameservers in cPanel does NOT magically send any DNS records to Cloudflare.
Please read my post above again.
I said you should create a DNS A record in your CLOUDFLARE DNS to point your domain to your cPanel server’s IP address. I never said you should do anything in cPanel.
