I’m new to this sub and to website hosting, so I apologize if I mix things up or ask something “obvious”. I taught myself how to host a site for my dad, so I really only know the basics.
I am using 3 different services to host my site: Ionos for the domain name, Pixpa for the website creation, and Cloudflare for the hosting/domain forwarding. I tried using Ionos to host, but I could never get it to work even when both Ionos and Pixpa staff tried to edit my account from their end.
Now, I’m getting a 525 SSL Handshake error on my site when I try to access it. I haven’t changed any settings and I haven’t gotten any emails from them. On Cloudflare, it says the site is active and all the settings seem right. I have an Origin certificate until 2040, I have a Universal and Backup Edge certificate until May, and the encryption is full.
When I go to the Cloudflare community pages it sounds like gibberish. The stuff I can understand doesn’t work on my end. At one point, I changed the encryption to Flexible and then back to Full and it went back up for a few minutes before giving the same error again.
How can I fix the error? Where is it coming from, is there a record missing or a setting I need to change?
