2. contact the community resources
3. hopefully get lucky… a lot of people are using Cloudflare so I wanted to recommend it to a friend who needed free hosting but wants to have their domain managed by a cheap name place… is this possible? can I use a testing123.mysupersecretdomain.mysupersecret-tld-c4o4m-stupidfilter and get it to work myself just to have the experience of Cloudflare?

Was the site working with SSL prior to adding it to Cloudflare?

What are the steps to reproduce the error:

@paul53

can I use a subdomain for example

You can only use a subdomain on business and higher plans. All other plans require you onboard your domain to Cloudflare.

As for the free SSL, that you see in dashboard, that is the edge SSL and what is show to user who connect to your domain. You still need to set up SSL on your server, but you can use an origin certificate for connection only between Cloudflare and your origin.

Unless you purchase a certificate you can not have multi-level subdomain support i.e. test2.test1.example.com
