Hey Guys.
Thanks for the replies. I think I'm getting a bit of clarity.
Given that the list has/is sort of light regarding traffic, I'd like to post what I'm trying to do, and the complete steps I'm going to implement to get to my goal.
My initial goal is to have a Digitalocean VM, running centos8, that's running a live webapp (apache) that I'll be able to access via http://www.cat.com/a.php.
The base server will be having selinux/firewall/etc...
Given that I've never touched selinux, and only tangentially played with firewalls, I'm sure I'll screw things up.
If it's ok to post my steps, as well as my progress through the steps, I'd appreciate it. (Will help to know I have people I can turn to if I can't figure something out!)
Thoughts/Comments
thanks

I presume you're using that as a faked domain name just for this email,
since it already exists.
a. Your webserver needs to be configured to respond to your specific
hostname, if it uses virtual hostnames to determine which site to
respond to queries with. If it replies to all queries with the same
site, this doesn't matter.
b. Your DNS server needs to have your domain name pointed at the public
IP of the webserver.
You can do a test run of this on your own computer running Apache, just
put your test domain name into your hosts file, associating it with
your LAN IP address.
e.g. $ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
192.168.1.1 www.example.com example.com
NB: 192.168.1.1 is *my* LAN IP for one of my PCs, substitute your own.
And the two example.com domain names are my faked examples.
Now, if your problem purtains to how to configure cloudfare, I don't
know what to advise. Beyond that they should have help docs. If
you're stuck part way through their help docs, send us the address for
the help page you're looking at, and tell us where your stuck.
