Issues Using Cloudfare

Hello, I am just new to cloudfare and I’m having some issues with putting it on my website. So, I just purchased my domain off of namecheap and then got it activated onto Cloudfare so I could get an SSL certificate. However, whenever I try to go to my website I get this error " This site can’t be reached"

Sorry if this is stupid I just started web hosting and don’t really know much about well, anything.

You should already have your site hosted at a web host before configuring it on Cloudflare.

I do I am currently using PebbleHost’s web hosting right now to host it.

Hi @MonkeyManofLife, I suspect you don’t have any DNS records set up…I recently did the exact same steps with a new domain and had zero DNS entries.

Here are a couple of really good articles, https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200169096-How-do-I-add-A-records- and https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200168756-How-do-I-add-a-subdomain-to-my-site-.
