Cloudflare is now protecting site but its offline

Hello! This is second time I try to connect my website web.com.az to Cloudflare.
Is says, Great news! Cloudflare is now protecting your site but its offline.

Error message: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
As I researched, not all A records added automatically.

What can I do to add A records there since i have no experience in this task?

Neither the apex / naked domain, nor the www variant of your domain has any AAAA, A or CNAME record(s), which would be necessary, in order to point the given (sub-)domain towards your hosting provider.

You need to talk to your hosting provider to retrieve the relevant record(s), or alternatively, check the old DNS provider for the actual record(s) there, and copy them over.

Thanks to you I have resolved problem. :slight_smile:
Then I started to change some functions for more and more benefits :slight_smile:

Now I have the same problem on my web.com.az website: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

What I remember, I have enabled DNSSEC and Multi-signer DNSSEC, so
I have disabled them. Now I will be waiting for a some hours.

Seems that I was not lucky. Where I must write A records? Hosting provider says, you’re using Cloudflare as your DNS provider, you must add the record to their control panel. Here is our SSL IP that you must point your domain and its “www.” subdomain to: 198.23.51.25

But what records I must add for www.web.com.az? A, AAAA and CNAME with name www or wwww.web.com.az?

Thanks in advance!

As they have given you an IPv4 address, you need to use the A type.

You’ll make the DNS record for the apex (naked domain) be like this:

Type: A
Name: @, or web.com.az
IPv4 address: 198.23.51.25
Proxy status: :orange: Proxied.

If you also want the www (sub-)domain to work, you’ll do the same there:

Type: A
Name: www, or www.web.com.az
IPv4 address: 198.23.51.25
Proxy status: :orange: Proxied.

If you haven’t done anything since the screenshot you posted, you’ll simply add two new DNS record(s) with the details mentioned above.
