When will my domain name start working

If you’ve just created your account, or just added a new domain name to an account, you may be surprised that you are unable to view your website when using the domain. Instead you may see: An advertisements page, with ?z being added to the URL. An error saying “This site can’t be reached”. This is usually caused by a system called DNS Caching. This article explains how DNS Caching works, why your website isn’t up yet and what you can do to see your website right now. When will I be able to …

Make sure the correct A or CNAME record is added for the sub-subdomain

[Admin]

It looks like you haven’t added a DNS record for surprise.charliebrooks.co.uk yet. Please login to to Cloudflare, and add a DNS record similar to the one for the www subdomain.

After that, it can still take up to 72 hours for the page to be visible due to DNS caching.

so its working but it says this

https://surprise.charliebrooks.co.uk/

You have two options to fix that:

1. Get an SSL certificate for your subdomain (recommended)
2. Switch your Cloudflare SLL to Flexible.

If you want to use Cloudflare “Full (Strict)” then you will need a certificate from a trusted provider (eg. GoGetSSL, Let’s Encrypt)

If you wish to use the Full setting, you can just order a Self Signed SSL certificate from InfinityFree.

[wackyblackie]

Ok, then you need a Self signed certificate from any provider. I recommend the one from InfinityFree. Login to your account - InfinityFree

[Greenreader9]

Please check the “Flexible” box, or get an SSL certificate from Login to your account - InfinityFree (As suggested by @wackyblackie), whichever you prefer.
