Hi @kaltesessen,

You will only be able to issue wildcard certificates through cPanel if you use the cPanel nameservers for your domain's DNS hosting.

Your domain is using Cloudflare for its DNS hosting, so you won't be able to issue a wildcard certificate via cPanel.

If you're no longer using Cloudflare, then you could update your domain to use the nameservers provided by your cPanel host.

You'd need to make this change in your domain registrar's control panel (Aliyun?).

Is it okay to enable cloudfare after issuing a certificate through cpanel?

That won't work in the long term, because cPanel will be unable to renew the wildcard certificate, after you switch back to Cloudflare DNS.

If you want to use Cloudflare in the long term, then you could more simply use [Origin Certificates](https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000479507-Managing-Cloudflare-Origin-CA-certificates) instead of Let's Encrypt certificates. This will ensure a secure connection between your cPanel server and Cloudflare. Then Cloudflare will generate its own wildcard certificates for your domain on the frontend.

Origin certificates are simpler because you don't need to worry about renewing them so often.

I'm not too sure - it seems to me like it should have worked

You may have tried too early after changing the nameservers.

If it keeps happening, you might need to ask IFastnet to increase the DNS cluster delay in their cPanel Let's Encrypt integration.
