hope you help me for ssl, every time I create ssl it gives error “SSL certificate error: The provider encountered an error while verifying your domain name’s DNS settings. Please double check your nameserver settings and try again later.
Error details: Incorrect TXT record” even though I have set the CNAME in Cloudflare
Make sure it is grey cloud (Proxy off)
No, you need to use the correct IP addresses. See:

Ah I didn’t realise you were trying to set up the SSL certificate.
Greenreader9’s response above gives you all the info you need 
Did you realized that it says incorrect TXT record instead of incorrect CNAME record?
It’s not your fault, though. Cloudflare will automatically issue certificates for you on their end. In order to do this, they have to create a TXT record on _acme-challenge for you.
Unfortunately, this means that the TXT record will take precedence, and you’ll never be able to complete the verification process here even if you do have the correct CNAME record setup.
I recommend you to follow this guide instead to get a working certificate with Cloudflare:

Everything looks fine on your hosting DNS-wise as far as I can see. I also see you were able to successfully issue an SSL certificate.
