You don’t have a certificate installed: ![image](https://forum-cdn.infinityfree.net/original/3X/9/2/922516b1281beb3eb82c5aaeea08fb622b0f5508.png) or issued: ![image](https://forum-cdn.infinityfree.net/original/3X/8/b/8b4bf678a478fcdfca4567f862ef2d0e132a3f2a.png) Since you have a redirection to HTTPS, I cannot view the website. Keep in mind that you cannot use InfinityFree subdomains with Cloudflare.

Adding a domain to Cloudflare means you’ll be able to get HTTPS from Cloudflare _for that domain_. Other domains, even those on the same account, will only get the benefits of Cloudflare if they are not using Cloudflare themselves. And Cloudflare doesn’t let you add individual subdomains to their platform, only the entire domain, so you can’t use a free subdomain on Cloudflare. So if you want HTTPS on your free subdomain, you’ll have to setup Cloudflare with us, and the easiest way to do that is with our Free SSL Certificates system. ---

I’m sorry, but I don’t understand your message. You can’t add [tech4file.epizy.com](http://tech4file.epizy.com) to Cloudflare and, as such, cannot use any Cloudflare features on that subdomain. You can only use custom domains with Cloudflare, such as tech4file.ml. Cloudflare will setup SSL for your domain and any first level subdomains (so test.tech4file.ml will work, but www.test.tech4file.ml will not) by default, but you can turn that off. On which domain name exactly are you having trouble with SSL right now? ---

Since you did not provide more info, below is the generic reply. If A record and CNAME clashed, discard one of them ---

What should I have to do now should I have to remove A record for new subdomain and create a cname for it for ssl ---

The `_acme-challenge` subdomain should only have one DNS record: a CNAME record to our verification domain, with Cloudflare proxy turned off. The `_acme-challenge` should not have any A, AAA, TXT or any other records on it. You should have A records for your base domain and any subdomain you want to host a website on (like the `project` subdomain). Since the Name of these records are different, the `_acme-challenge` records to not conflict with your website records, and vice versa. ---
