My cname is not working

Getting Started
#1

hello, iam new to all this stuff… sry if i don’t give enough info then needed…

i coded my site on an site called replit.com… to link the web it said i need to put a cname pointing at and some random letters and numbers… on the tutorial on how to link a url it said that i have to create a root and a www named dns thing and put the cname there… i did it but it didn’t work… i also waited 48 hours and checked again and i still can’t link the site… i don’t know what did wrong… can someone pls help??

my site dumpershaven.tk btw… also note i tried changing cname a lot of time to try experimenting to get www.dumpershaven.tk and dumpershaven.tk working at the same time if it got anything to do with it…(should i wait more time???)

thanks.

Unproxy the record in question.

#3

you meant the cloud thing??? yea i made sure its not proxied (the cloud is grey)

#4

So which record are we talking about?

#5

its two cnames… one is @ and the other is www do you want the cname?

#6

The www record is a proper CNAME record and the naked domain cannot be a CNAME record, hence it is flattened to an A record.

#7

hmm? but i made an another site and it worked… idk why this site is not working… when i try to link i get an error saying DNS updates can take up to 48 hours to fully synchronize. Feel free to check back later. while i alr waited 2 days but on my first site i were able to link it rlly fast… also i followed this tutorial btw :-Replit Docs - Hosting web pages

#8

did i do something wrong??

#9

As mentioned, the CNAME record is in place - DNS Checker - DNS Check Propagation Tool

#10

sooo i did something wrong while doing it? if the cname record is working then ig its a mistake on my part?? should i go recheck everything?

#11

Probably, but you best check that with your provider and what they exactly want you to set.

As far as Cloudflare is concerned, everything is set up.

#12

alr thanks! i will go check every thing again… i will redo everything probably anyway thanks!

#13

uhh i did everything correct(i checked) but… sitll iam getting the error " DNS updates can take up to 48 hours to fully synchronize. Feel free to check back later." what should i do?
iam soo confused why this is happening

#14

That’s not an error, that’s simply pointing out that changes to records can take some time.

#15

hmmm soo should i wait a day mora and try again?? like i alr waited 48 hours…

#16

Wait for what? Your CNAME record is properly set up.

#17

back… (Cloudflare said i gotta wait 22hour more to reply…rip ) if i don’t have to wait then… why am i getting this error?

As I mentioned

You need to clarify with your service provider where they expect that CNAME record. Then you can configure it accordingly.
