Hi
I am new to Cloudflare i added my site and i change the dns from GoDaddy with the dns provided by Cloudflare and i point the A record and the cname to my hosting ip address. My site stooped working i contacted my hosting company they advice me to disable the proxy ono Cloudflare and enable them after i install the ssl certificate from cpanel i have dont that and disable the proxy the site is working fine and when i reenabled the proxy the site went down. I contacted my hosting so they disabled my cpanel ssl and advice me to install the flexible ssl certificate and enable proxy i have dont that and the website still down.
Any advice please

For decades leaders in IT security have advocated that people upgrade their sites from unencrypted HTTP to secure HTTPS.
