My website shows a SSL certificate error. I have not made any changes to the main A records in the DNS since moving to Cloudflare 2 months ago. The SSL certificate had not expired and we made no changes to it via the website host. Back checking the DNS I see that the records are resolving to an INCORRECT IP address and NOT the one in my cloudflare account. According to my website host, this is why they cannot issue a new SSL certificate (and this is probably why the SSL stopped working in the first place).
DNS Propagation Checker - Global DNS Testing Tool Can anyone advise why and how the IP changed when I did not touch it? And how can I fix the problem? Thanks.
Your site is using Cloudflare’s proxy, so you will see Cloudflare IP addresses for your site.

If you need your host to handle your SSL certificate renewal, you can set your DNS record to “DNS only”, arrange to have the certificate updated, then set back to “proxied”. Note that while not proxied traffic goes direct to your origin so no Cloudflare protections or features (such as redirects, DDoS protection, WAF rules, etc) will be applied to your site traffic.
