How To Add SSL To Your Domain

Step 1: Create your free Cloudflare account here

Step 2: After your account is created, insert your domain name and click Continue

Step 3: Once you enter in your site URL, choose the Free option at the bottom:

Step 4: Click on the domain that you just added

Step 5: Copy the nameservers that Cloudflare has provided and update your nameservers at your domain registrar.

Step 6: In your domain registrar account (example: Godaddy or Namecheap), update your nameservers with the new Cloudflare nameservers. These can take several hours to take effect. Once Cloudflare recognizes that they have been updated, move on to the next step.

Add a new A record with your hosting IP address. This can be found inside your cpanel account

Once you have it activated, Enable SSL and you are all set.
