DCV Delegation for Partial Zones

DNS > Record (CNAME Setup)

If you want to host a website name abc.jjonflare.cloud you need to create a partial Zone suffix in your authoritative DNS provider.

It will look like abc.jjonflare.cloud.cdn.cloudflare.net

Example on Godaddy DNS

Next create CNAME record in your DNS provider for DCV delegation

Example on Godaddy DNS

_acme-challenge.abc abc.jjonflare.cloud.c43c00fXXXXXXX.dcv.cloudflare.com.

On Cloudflare Dashboard

Next add the CNAME record on Cloudflare dashboard abc.jjonflare.cloud

Edge Certificate

Navigate to SSL/TLS > Edge Certificate, order advanced certificate For this example I selected Google Trust Services as Cloudflare will stop using DigiCert as an issuing certificate authority (CA) More info here

And finally the certificate is issued on Cloudflare
