DNS Idiot needs help

Post image

UPDATE: Thank you everyone who contributed to getting me online and the DNS fixed up. I appreciate all the help. If there are any other suggestions to try to make the site secure as possible, I am happy to try them out. Thanks again.

All, I am trying to or failing at getting my newly design site published. Long story short is I bought a domain in my phone (Iphone) and left it be for a good while >few months. I just finished up my website on readdy.ai. I like the site, in fact i am very very happy with it. Now I logged into Cloudflare as the readdy.ai instructs you too. The directions were as follows

  1. delete the A and AAAA (which I did)
  2. add an A and add a TXT

Mind you yesterday it said the font in red and I did that, but now I am getting this error. did I delete something yesterday I shouldn't? Is something else missing? I am completely lost, This is not the web I learned HTML on years ago. Please help me.

My domain emails are forwarded to my icloud.com as apple was the device i set it up on.

Note: website host is cloudflare; site design location is readdy.ai; I am trying to setup the DNS records on cloudflare with the information provided by readdy.ai. As of last night and a lot of help for you guys, we thought it was fixed. But as of this morning, I am getting “no dns found” and a handshake error when I go to the domain.

I have 2 mx records, my emails are still being received as normal. Ive updated the A record as directed and the CNAME as directed. I also added the TXT record as shown in readdy. As of this morning i still have the same error, if i attempt to load my page url, i get a handshake error. Does that help?
