ok so I was trying to get an SSL certificate from sslfree.com and there I was asked to make a directory called .well-known in the root directory i.e htdocs in this case and a subdirectory under .well-known named acme-challenge. And I was asked to upload two files into that and after doing the upload I had to verify via two links which showed the file names which was ok. but after that when I tried to download the certificate it loaded for a longer time and showed some error which mainly said domain challenge3 failed and there is no valid ip address for domainname.

It takes time for the SSL to be issued though.

Add this .htaccess rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Or go to Cloudflare and enable the “Always HTTPS” option.
