    All you need to get an SSL cert for HTTPS is a domain name you demonstrably own and a credit card. There’s literally no other requirement.

        You need CloudFlare? Any DNS provider can create an A record for a domain and IP then boom: accessible from any browser as soon as DNS propagates, (usually less than an hour but possibly up to 24hrs). CloudFlare is just a middle man really that offers some security and performance benefits.
