## Why am I getting a warning for hostname not covered even if I have a custom certificate?

If the [custom certificate](/ssl/edge-certificates/custom-certificates/) has been in place before our new certificate management pipeline, the following warning is displayed but can be discarded.
244-
245244
`This hostname is not covered by a certificate.`

The warning will be gone when you upload a new custom certificate, or start using another type of certificate for this hostname.

## I've updated my CNAME to a new SaaS provider, but I still see content from the old provider
252+
253+
When a SaaS provider is leveraging our [Cloudflare for SaaS](/cloudflare-for-platforms/cloudflare-for-saas/) solution, they create a [Custom Hostname](/cloudflare-for-platforms/cloudflare-for-saas/domain-support/) on their Cloudflare zone.
254+
Then a [CNAME record needs to be created](/cloudflare-for-platforms/cloudflare-for-saas/saas-customers/how-it-works/) on the client zone, to point to the SaaS provider service.
255+
When changing SaaS providers, if the old SaaS provider provisioned a specific custom hostname for the record (`mystore.example.com`) and the new SaaS provider provisioned a wildcard custom hostname (`*.example.com`), the old custom hostname will still take precedence.
256+
This is expected as per the [Certificate and hostname priority](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/reference/certificate-and-hostname-priority/#hostname-priority).
257+
258+
In this case there are 2 ways forward:
259+
- (*Recommended*) Ask the new SaaS provider to provision a specific custom hostname for you instead of the wildcard (`mystore.example.com` instead of `*.example.com`).
260+
- Ask the Super Administrator of your account to contact [Cloudflare Support](/support/contacting-cloudflare-support/) to request an update of the SaaS configuration.
