Thank you so much! Your process worked great for my Namecheap hosted website. A couple days before finding your youtube I successfully installed a free 90 day SSL following another youtube which used the "letsencrypt" methodology. I then used your "hack" method to successfully extend the expiration date out 15 years. Keep up the good work! Update (2 hours later). Just completed my second website using your technique. This site had an SSL from "ZeroSSL", and all went smooth. It looks like it took about an hour for everything to propagate.
This is an origin certificate. Origin Certificates are only valid for encryption between Cloudflare and your origin server, and not between the Client and origin server
Thank you very much to share knowledge, I have done everything perfectly but once i check the certificate on the web browser there is still 3 months validity please advise?
Yes, this could vary in Cloud flare accounts and I really can't say why. The first account I experimented the SSL installation on offered just 3 Months and the second (I made this video with) a year. What you'd want to do would be extending the SSL certificate validity to 15 years from your domain's Cpanel, that should take care of things even when the Universal Certificate expires that would still cary on.
It removed my website from godaddy when I changed the nameservers on godaddy and now when i try to change the nameservers back to the original ones it says "invalid name server provided", you should probably test this on the biggest domain hosting sites like godaddy before making a video as this wasted a lot of time of ours
It doesn't matter who the domain registrar is. When you change the Name servers, it takes a while for the propagation to get complete, you should know it typically takes 24-48hours for that to happen. I also gave this a shot with Go daddy last month, and had no problems with the setup, I just had to exercise patience with the Propagation
Hello, I changed the nameservers, Cloudflare says it is protecting my site and it is active, but I cannot access my page like it does not exist. Why is that?
