When you use a CDN like Cloudflare, you have two connections: end-user to CDN, and CDN to origin server. (For many requests, the CDN can handle the request itself without needing to get the content from the origin server, which is one way that using a CDN is helpful.)
Ideally both of these requests can be protected with HTTPS. Since they are separate requests, they can (and usually do) use separate certificates. However, only the end-user to CDN connection is visible to the general public, including people on forums trying to help diagnose problems.
Since these certificates are separate and distinct, they can be issued by different CAs, have different contents, and expire at different times. Indeed, we can see that Let's Encrypt has issued a certificate for forumweb.hosting, which is going to expire on June 20:
I got your points

In order to figure out how to renew this certificate, we would need to know how you originally obtained it, back in March. The presence of Cloudflare is actually kind of a distraction here because they were not involved in issuing the Let's Encrypt certificate; instead, you or someone else who administered your site obtained it yourself, using some kind of software or technology. Ideally that same software will work now to renew the certificate too.
On Cloudflare, I only enabled SSL -> FULL ( in Crypto tab), on my DirectAdmin control panel, I enabled Letsencrypt ssl by generate cert key for it. Just that and I could use https for my site.
I read some guys on my site said using Certbot to renew Letsencrypt SSL certificate
My sites are using SSL service of Lets encrypt on my hosting but I will move my hosting to a new host next week. The SSL certificate is assigned on an IP address on my hosting, when moving to a new hosting, how can I keep current SSL and do I need to...
Hi,
I tried to get Let's Encrypt certificates for both my www and non-www domain names, then redirect all the requests to afa-advisory.com.
I installed certbot on my OVH VPS, then I tried many attempts to get both certificates:
1) I tried an...
or running this command ./letsencrypt-auto renew
but I am not sure about them, if using Certbot can help me to renew Letsencrypt then I would give it a try.
Thanks
