Will I get a SSL for all subdomains?
Because I am looking to move to Cloudflare, I currently have a SSL for example.com but not for www.example.com, will this be fixed if I move to Cloudflare?
And what happens to the SSL Certificate on the server?
The default Universal SSL will give a certificate covering example.com and *.example.com so all first-level subdomains will be ok. If you need second-level or deeper subdomains (such as sub2.sub1.example.com), then you will need to use the Advanced Certificate Manager.
You must keep that (and keep it updated) to ensure that the connection between Cloudflare and your origin is secured. Make sure your SSL/TLS mode is set to “Full (strict)” or “Strict” only in the dashboard here…

Okay thank you, but as for my issue that currently www.example.com does not have a SSL connection, will it be fixed when its with cloudflare?
I am just looking to direct www->example.com with SSL.
Yes, that will work.
Redirect using Cloudflare as here…
Thank you, is it normal for it to say this? Since after all I need the SSL to apply for www
You haven’t given the domain so I can’t check, but is the domain being shown as “Active” or “Pending” in the dashboard?
I haven’t added it yet, just wanted to make sure before adding it. Should I add it and then see?
Edit: Now its pending, I’ll let you know if the www redirection is SSL.
The domain will need to go active and then the SSL certificates will be generated.
You can enable “Always use HTTPS” as here…
The Redirect (and other) Rules can now be found under Rules… Overview… in the dashboard, or click here…

Check your SSL/TLS setting is set to “Full (strict)” in your dashboard here…
