I have a domain which I use for a dedicated platform, but I can't host anything on it. I want to set up a subdomain (which are all managed by Cloudflare) that is pointed to a folder on my main hosting service (@ 5crat.ch) I'm lost for what I have to do, I've tried using Cname and A records, and then set up a addon domain via Cpanel with the chosen subdomain. I get this error message returned when I try to add it via cpanel though [img]http://5crat.ch/a/95zh[/img] I'm a bit lost, and I'm not even sure if it's actually possible

Pretty much.
If im correct that means you havent set the domain nameservers to use cloudflares DNS system. So when you try set it up the domain with cloudflare, as it isnt the nameserver for your domain, it cant do anything. Ive added you to steam (Hirsty) and as a fellow cloudflare user, can help you out :D
Both domains use the same cloudflare nameservers, abby and ivan These are the ones that are assigned to my account
