Thank you very much to share knowledge, I have done everything perfectly but once i check the certificate on the web browser there is still 3 months validity please advise?
Yes, this could vary in Cloud flare accounts and I really can't say why. The first account I experimented the SSL installation on offered just 3 Months and the second (I made this video with) a year. What you'd want to do would be extending the SSL certificate validity to 15 years from your domain's Cpanel, that should take care of things even when the Universal Certificate expires that would still cary on.
This is an origin certificate. Origin Certificates are only valid for encryption between Cloudflare and your origin server, and not between the Client and origin server
It removed my website from godaddy when I changed the nameservers on godaddy and now when i try to change the nameservers back to the original ones it says "invalid name server provided", you should probably test this on the biggest domain hosting sites like godaddy before making a video as this wasted a lot of time of ours
It doesn't matter who the domain registrar is. When you change the Name servers, it takes a while for the propagation to get complete, you should know it typically takes 24-48hours for that to happen. I also gave this a shot with Go daddy last month, and had no problems with the setup, I just had to exercise patience with the Propagation
Hello, I changed the nameservers, Cloudflare says it is protecting my site and it is active, but I cannot access my page like it does not exist. Why is that?
Thank you so much! Your process worked great for my Namecheap hosted website. A couple days before finding your youtube I successfully installed a free 90 day SSL following another youtube which used the "letsencrypt" methodology. I then used your "hack" method to successfully extend the expiration date out 15 years. Keep up the good work! Update (2 hours later). Just completed my second website using your technique. This site had an SSL from "ZeroSSL", and all went smooth. It looks like it took about an hour for everything to propagate.
It works thanks
I'm glad of it.
Thank you sir, God bless you In Jesus name
Amen to that, and You're welcome.
Easy to follow! And super helpful. Can you explain the issues with moving the name server away from the domain purchase company?

it was easy and awesome bro thanks
I'm Glad the video helped.
I got MUCH value from this video. Super easy to understand. Got it done in 10 minutes. My new certificate will expire in 2039. Thanks Victor!
Glad you did, and it's good to know the video is still valid. Wishing you all the best.
Nicely done. Wonder why i haven't learnt of this for this long.
It's never too late to learn something new... Right. :)
Man! I cannot thank you enough, You are awesome, keep doing this cool stuff.
Thank You so much for the kind words, it's much appreciated.
man you are the best, i have been struggling with the SSL issue over the last 3 weeks and you got it solved in 10 mins. thank you so much
That is so nice to hear, thank you for the kind words.
I'm glad you got the information you were looking for.
ehhhhh, so no wordpress plugin required? like EasySSL?
Nope.
Sir I followed all steps 👣 but on Cloudflare it says active but on WordPress website not secure Please Help
Just give it a couple of minutes, it would definitely come up. You can also clear the cache from your browser to see if that helps.
👍👍👍👍👍

Just give it a couple of minutes.
It take tops 30mins for it to become propagate.
@@victorchinedu Thanks! It turned out that it missed a DNS Record type A with my root pointing to the IP. Adding that solved it.
Brilliant. Am glad to hear that Antal.
Thank you, this is so helpful
It's my pleasure.
