Can I turn on the orange cloud when using Cloudflare?

If this is the first time that your domain is on Cloudflare, and you have just pointed the domain at the server you deployed via our platform, DO NOT turn on the orange cloud for that domain.

Make sure that is it DNS Only (grey cloud).

Steps:

Request for the SSL to be installed for that domain via our platform

Make sure in Cloudflare, the SSL encryption setting is set at Full. SSL/TLS > Overview > Full (make sure it says this: Your SSL/TLS encryption mode is Full)

On our platform, you can now use this time to install WordPress, and migrate your website over.

Once the above is done, wait another 30 minutes before turning on the orange cloud via Cloudflare for your domain or subdomain.
