Re: Cloudflare free account

Agreed - a good option in the meantime. Just know however that the htaccess file to implement a 301 redirect from http to https will be slightly different if an ssl is obtained through Cloudflare or the host directly. And when you do so, don't forget about Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools.
