Greetings,

Thank you for asking.

A2 hosting does provide you with web hosting services, correct?

You should receive the IP address of the web hosting / origin host / server from them.

Therefore, upon registering for an Cloudflare account and adding your domain to your Cloudflare account, changing domain nameservers at your domain registrar making sure to point them to the associated ones which were provided to you in the process of adding your domain name to your CF account, you’d have to double-check the DNS records which were scanned and possibly added automatically. Otherwise, you can always view and modify them as needed.

My best guess is nedefenses.com, correct?

Kindly, navigate to the DNS tab of Cloudflare dashboard, therefore following the below step-by-step instructions from the helpful tutorial you can add the missing DNS A records pointed to the web hosting IP and being set to cloud.

I’d suggest you the useful tutorials to getting started with using Cloudflare:

• Step 1: Adding your domain to Cloudflare
• Step 2: Setting up SSL with Cloudflare
• Step 3: Enabling the ‘Orange Cloud’
• Step 4: Checking your site after adding it to Cloudflare

Nevertheless, I can confirm and see your website loading fine from my end.

Furthermore, if you recently changed your domain nameservers, regular DNS propagation time usually takes up to 24-48 hours to complete.

May I ask have you tried using a different Web browser, or tried clearing your Web browser cache?
How about using a Private window (Incognito mode) or a VPN connection if possible?
Is it the same behaviour on your mobile phone (4G LTE, mobile data, cellular)?
