Can i get http:// Ssl on my website while using a free plan?

Hello there,
Thanks for all you are doing.
Qn: I have a free music download website and am still using a free website plan and currently my website is ruining but some browser tend to block my website because its not secure. Am asking can i get a free ssl from 000webhost or cloudflare when am still using a free plan, and if Yes how?
my website is www.kpsounds.tk
Thanks.

Hi yes you can use cloudflare here. :slight_smile:
Read about how to setup it here and i recommend you to not use 000webhost for business purpose or as downloading site. Your account can be suspended anytime if your overuse them.

Ok here is the issue now
I had tried that and followed that tutorial but when i reached at the stage where you have to wait for 24hours there its about a month now and the status is still pending,
I desided to ask this question because i had thought that maybe free plan cant add ssl.
What do you think could be wrong and how am i getting helped
Regards.

That’s because your nameservers are pointing to 000webhost’s nameservers instead of CloudFlare’s ones :slight_smile:

So do i have to go to freenom and point the dns to cloudflare?
And won’t i loose my website data if i change to cloudflare

Nope, after you change your nameservers to CF ones, go to DNS tab and add the 2 CNAME records mentioned in the tutorial.

Hi @kellyug!

Thank you for using Cloudflare’s NSs instead of 000webhost ones. I have just pointed the domain to 000webhost for you.

Now, to enable Cloudflare protection, please go to Cloudflare cPanel > DNS and enable all orange clouds beside CNAME records.


PS: please make sure you have a CNAME record in Cloudflare cPanel > DNS which points www to scansorial-strip.000webhostapp.com. If you don’t have, please create one:

www -> scansorial-strip.000webhostapp.com

Cloudflare protection does not appear to be enabled for your site. Please make sure the orange clouds are turned on (please post a screenshot from Cloudflare cPanel > DNS)
