Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

A CA cert is higher up can sign for any desired domain. Certificates are a chain of trust and as long as the entire chain can be validated (by the root level installed by the user), then the entire cert will appear valid. During installation, that’s what gets installed and then the provider signs for whatever domain you’re visiting that they’d need (or want) to MITM.
Cloudflare uses LetsEncrypt, Google and a few other CAs to sign their certs. You’re not forced to use them as registrar, and they could (though they will lose accreditation very quickly) in theory sign any domain without you using them to host your domain’s DNS.
