Cloudflare’s free Universal SSL certificates only support SSL for the root or first-level subdomains only. Thus:

  • Root domain: supported
    • example.com
  • First-level subdomain: supported
    • www.example.com
    • blog.example.com
  • Second-level subdomain: not supported
    • www.blog.example.com
    • ny.usa.example.com

www.portfolio.invitely.in is a second-level subdomain and not supported by Universal SSL. To enable SSL support for this second-level subdomain while still using Cloudflare Proxy, you can:

Alternatively, you can disable the proxy for this hostname, and handle the SSL and redirection on the origin server. But of course, that means you don’t get Cloudflare’s protection here.

I’d simply forget about www for subdomains.
