Hello, yes, you can view this message. However, please note that it is temporary. Kindly check it again. When I attempt to open this URL on either my phone or laptop in incognito mode, it displays a “404 Not Found” error.

What should I do any solution??

Kindly refrain from kindly asking me to do anything.

And I did check again.

It displays the same screen I previously posted.

Here’s the cURL output which displays the same thing.

FWIW I used a private session each time.

Yes, you are correct. The same issue is displayed on my end as well. Yesterday, I contacted GoDaddy support, and they advised me to remove the custom nameservers and use the default GoDaddy nameservers. After removing the custom nameservers, my website started working, but without SSL. GoDaddy suggested that the problem might be with Cloudflare, so I was hoping you could investigate during our debugging session. Unfortunately, we were unable to resolve the issue at that time. As a result, I have decided not to make any further changes for the next 12 hours. During this time, you can check if the 404 error still persists.

I think the problem is from cloudflare side we are using zero ssl please avoid debugging thanks for your help guys…

You need your site to work correctly with SSL before you add Cloudflare.

It is working fine If I remove cloudflare nameservers…

Your site does not load over HTTPS. I would not consider that to be:

Fix that and Cloudflare should work correctly.

“How can I resolve this issue? I am perplexed because my website is functioning flawlessly. I used ZeroSSL, so how can you claim that the problem does not lie with Cloudflare? Please visit the URL innovativestays.com now and check how my site loads seamlessly over HTTPS.”

It does appear to load from the origin over HTTPS now. At the time of my earlier reply, the page load failed and my browser presented a warning that no HTTPS site was available. Perhaps you were still getting your ZeroSSL certificate deployed when I tried to visit the site.
