Pointing A records to a different hosting service from Cloudflare

How do I point A records to a different hosting service from Cloudflare? Thanks

Good #tutorial on the DNS app of the Cloudflare dashboard, last one in particular speaks to your question

• The DNS App
• Adding DNS Records
• Editing DNS Records
• An A, AAAA or CNAME record was not found
• An A, AAAA, CNAME, or MX record is pointed to your origin server exposing your origin IP address
• Email Troubleshooting
• Moving your site to a new host

I’m getting an alert on Cloudflare that says: "

This hostname is not covered by a certificate. To ensure full coverage, purchase Advanced Certificate Manager to use Total TLS for full certificate coverage of proxied hostnames.

Ah, that means the subdomain is too deep, the certificate will cover example.com and www.example.com but not test.www.example.com,

Subdomain too deep

This tutorial covers a possible reason for the SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP and ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH errors (Firefox and Chrome respectively) when seen on a subdomain. The Cloudflare universal certificates cover example.com and *.example.com. This means that it covers any subdomain one level below the domain you signed up with. It will cover www.example.com and subdomain.example.com, as these are one level below the root domain, example.com. The certificate will not cover www.sub…

ACM would work with test.www.example.com, option would be to rejigger the subdomain structure to something like test.example.com.
