What do you mean with ionos? Is ionos your registrar?

your hosting provider should provide a way for you to upload/use your own ssl cert. you can generate your own ssl using cloudflare, but some managed hosting providers might not let you upload your own ssl it seems this guide will explain it better https://www.ionos.com/help/ssl-certificates/administration-of-user-managed-ssl-certificates/management-of-ssl-certificates-in-the-control-panel/

I mean, your only option is to run your own web server where you can set it to use your own cf ssl - this means getting a cheap vps would be the easiest way (and probably fastest too) than staying hesitated with ionos or if your web is mostly static, just use cloudflare pages + github, will solve your ssl too

Ahh I understand, but I'm not that expert in it... my idea was to create my own datacenter, but I don't have the knowledge for it... I would need a good helping hand to help me.
