Allow DNS propagation, install SSL, and verify the change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Connecting a domain to hosting when they\u2019re purchased separately is simple once you understand DNS.

Keep Cloudflare nameservers at your registrar and update Cloudflare\u2019s DNS to point to your host\u2019s IP. Use \u201cFull\u201d SSL mode with a valid origin certificate.
