What hosting company do you like to use?

No matter what hosting company you use if you are going to use Cloudflare (it’s primarily for speed) you should make sure your FTP/SFTP are set correctly. The error you are getting really has nothing to do with the SSL you have added but the DNS settings.

That was exactly the problem. Thank you!

Ironically, I probably caused the problem myself a couple of weeks ago. The Cloudflare stats showed zero hits on my site, so I assumed that even though the site was active on Cloudflare, for some reason the site traffic wasn’t going through Cloudflare. So I changed several of those gray icons to orange. That probably included the FTP icon. However, now that I have the IP address, it works and I can keep the extra FTP security feature.

I really appreciate your help.
