DNS Server not resolving
Hi, I created a free account at CloudFlare to manage the DNS of one of my domains. Unfortunately it's not working. Can anyone help me? See the CNAME entry for the subdomain "blog.hofmannmoritz.com" and the A entries for "hofmannmoritz.com". ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Hey,
That's not a DNS resolution issue, that's a configuration issue
In the dashboard -> websites -> under your website, go to SSL/TLS -> Overview, make sure you're on Full Strict or Strict SSL, otherwise Click Configure and select custom -> Full (Strict)

Wow that was a quick help! Let me check that, thanks @Chaika
Hey @Chaika the main domain hofmannmoritz.com is now resolving fine. But blog.hofmannmoritz.com (the subdomain) is still not working. Another config issue?
The origin for
blog.hofmannmoritz.com needs to serve a valid SSL Certificate (not self-signed, not expired, signed by a trusted authority or Cloudflare themselves) to Cloudflare. Cloudflare has up to 15 year long trusted by proxy certificates for your origin under ssl/tls -> origin server, or depending on what you're using it may be just a button click/config setting to use an automated integration to issue oneI just want to forward over HTTPS to the domain startupjournal.app. I don't have any webspace for the blog.hofmannmoritz.com subdomain right now @Chaika - The domain sits with godaddy, let me check what you posted.
does
startupjournal.app specifically support Custom Domains?@Chaika Sorry, I'm probably not technical enough and I'm wasting your time. startupjournal.app is resolving my blog. It's currently working. Is that what you mean? Theoretically I could also set "blog.hofmannmoritz.com" equal to resolving the blog. But I want to forward "blog.hofmannmoritz.com" specifically to startupjournal.app
(I don't want people to find the domain hofmannmoritz.com when they search for startupjournal.app) That's why I came up with this
you're fine no worries, just trying to understand what you're trying to do. Do you want "blog.hofmannmoritz.com" to transparently show the content of "startupjournal.app", or just an actual redirect to that site when they go to
blog.hofmannmoritz.com?an actual redirect.
^
I basically want that the URL in the browser changes to "startupjournal.app"
oh that's really easy then, go to rules -> redirect rules -> create rule -> use the rightmost template "Redirect to a Different Domain", change hostname to your blog, and then change the url in the expression field to startupjournal like in screenshot

It's working, you're a real lifesaver @Chaika ++
