Trying to connect Cloudflare domain to Hostgator hosting

What is the name of the domain?

What is the issue you’re encountering

I’m trying to connect my domain name bought through Cloudflare to my Hostgator hosting account. However, Hostgator isn’t detecting the correct records.

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

In the DNS settings on Cloudflare I’ve entered an A name with the expected A record given by Hostgator. I’ve also entered a CNAME entry. Hostgator has given me two nameserver records which I’ve also tried adding previously. I’ve now deleted those as someone with a similar problem on these forums in the past was advised to do that and that fixed it.

I’ve been trying to get this resolved myself over the past week, waiting 24-48 hours in between changes to allow the changes to propagate, but it’s still not seeming to work. The default home page of the website is being displayed, but when trying to go to pageturnertours.com/wp-admin it’s saying that I’ve been redirected too many times.

What exactly are you basing the lack of propagation on?

Make sure that your SSL/TLS encryption mode is set to Full (Strict):
