I have created a wordpress website through the siteground tool that creates and links your cloud flare account.
Siteground say I must use a www domain to use Cloudflare. I don’t want to use www, and have www redirecting to the non-www version of my site.

If you manually configure your Cloudflare account here using IP addresses instead of at Siteground with CNAMEs, you can use whatever you want.
