Hi guys, I’m new to Cloudflare and for this reason I need help.
I have a server at https://www.ionos.es/ (formerly known as 1and1).
I use plesk and I have installed the extension “Cloudflare” for plesk.
Is this enough or do I need to change the nameservers?
I have read the following guide and it seems that it is not necessary to change the name servers if my hosting is “partner” of them. How do I know if my hosting is a Cloudflare partner?

Also, I need to have my website with SSL. How does SSL work with Cloudflare? Do I install it normally and then activate Cloudflare or do I have to pay a premium plan for my site to have SSL?
Normally all the sites that I have on my server use Let’s encrypt
Currently I did not put SSL (Let’s encrypt) to my website and it is activated from the Cloudflare extension in Plesk, however, Cloudflare does not seem to work. Can you please help me?
