I can quite clearly tell that what you have setup right now will not work. As for how to fix it, that depends on what the intended goal is, which is not entirely clear to me.
So far, what we have been doing is helping you get HTTPS on your domain so you can redirect it to your website. With a redirect, if someone were to visit http://lamaisonenfolie.be, the URL in their address bar would change to http://lamaisonenfolie.lovestoblog.com, and they will then continue to browse your website on the free subdomain.
But now, you have it setup with Cloudflare, and are pointing it to your website domain with us with a CNAME record. However, it’s important to understand that a CNAME record has nothing to do with a website redirect, so this won’t work.
At this point, I can see two options:
- You want to redirect
http://lamaisonenfolie.betohttp://lamaisonenfolie.lovestoblog.com. To do this, you could either:- Change the DNS records in Cloudflare so your domain points to the IP address it was using at OVH. Perhaps you can retrieve the settings to use from OVH’s panel.
- Create a Redirect Rule in Cloudflare to handle the redirect. If you do this, it doesn’t really matter where the domain name points to in Cloudflare’s DNS, because Cloudflare will just redirect everyone and not send any traffic to the configured hosting behind it.
- You want to migrate your website entirely from
http://lamaisonenfolie.lovestoblog.comtohttp://lamaisonenfolie.be. People will not be redirected to the free subdomain, and your website will be hosted directly on your .be domain.- To do this, you’ll need to:
- Add the domain name to your hosting account: How to add your own domain to your account
- Move your website to the directory of your new domain name: How to move a website to a different directory
- Note that you do not need Cloudflare for this. You can just setup SSL on our hosting, so no need to use Cloudflare. You can keep using Cloudflare if you want to, but it’s not necessary.
