I’m facing 525 error on the website error like SSL handshake failed. I’m attaching the screenshot for your information. I have purchased godaddy SSL and namerserver pointed to cloudfare. Now godaddy was down 3 days ago and they restored the server but since then i’m facing this issue. it doesn’t come always but when i check some post it comes. Images are not loading properly.
I talked to Godaddy they’re saying i need to check with cloudflare. do i changed back to cloudflare nameserver then ask them to install the certificate?
That is incorrect information I am afraid. Only your host can handle your server certificate and you need to talk to them.
The fact they were referring you to a third party (even though they should know better) means they either do not care or they do not know, in both cases it would be a good idea to switch host as they obviously are not good at what they are doing.
The only thing Cloudflare could do is issue an Origin certificate which you then have to install on your server. Please use the search for details on that.
I could do itself but i don’t have access of the server. they’re contioulsy saying contact to cloudflare. i will change hosting asap. Godaady sucks now. Could you please help on this?
i don’t want to use goddady crtificate once it’s fixed. what options should i use on SSL settings.
No, I’m saying i want to use only cloudflare cerificate so what settings do i select? i’m just fed of up godaddy they’re still saying to use godaddy nameserver.
We are going in circles. As I said four times so far that won’t work. Install a certificate on your server and the 525 will get fixed. Otherwise it won’t.
Whether you do this with your current host or another one does not matter.
So when you have using could fare nameservers there is a delay in response that is effecting it and possible reasons also might be site loading time from third party nameservers and max database concurrent connection also
I would suggest you first change host as you seemingly don’t get anywhere with them.
Still, you need a proper certificate on your host. My suggestion would be to pause Cloudflare and first get your host running on HTTPS without the proxies and only switch once that works.
Okay I will pause cloudflare and changing back to godaddy nameserver and once it’s started working fine. i will again change nameserver back to cloudflare. do i need to start cloudflare first before changing the nameserver? or i can start it. once i changed the nameserver on godaddy.
If you pause you do not need to change the nameservers as everything will point straight to them. I would advise against changing the nameservers, just pause Cloudflare.
