c name Not Resolving on Root Domain After Moving to Cloudflare (Pointing to web-20p.pages.dev)
What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?
I’m transferring my domain dianaathleticclub.org to Cloudflare and set up the DNS records. However:
1. CNAME to the Cloudflare pages url not propagated
2. I’ve updated Cloudflare as the DNS provider, but the CNAME still fails.
3. Email DNS still points to the original VPS which I haven’t touched.
What I need help with:
Why the c name is failing on the root domain?
Should I replace it with an Arecord?
Is there an issue with using a C NAME at the apex domain in Cloudflare?
What feature, service or problem is this related to?
Do not add Cloudflare DNS records pointing to your Pages site manually. You instead need to add dianaathleticclub.org and www.dianaathleticclub.org as custom domains to Pages as here, that will then also automatically create the DNS records for you…
Or just add one of them as a custom domain and redirect from the other using Redirect Rules.
Also ftp, mail, pop, imap and smtp should be set to “DNS only” and not “Proxied”.
