Hey @leny32 it looks like your DNS changes haven’t been properly set yet; you can take a look to see what the internet thinks your DNS settings look like using this tool: https://www.digwebinterface.com/?hostnames=guardian.pw&type=ANY&showcommand=on&colorize=on&ns=resolver&useresolver=8.8.4.4&nameservers=
This tells us that the config you have isn’t being sent to the rest of the world because it doesn’t show up in that list, so whether or not it’s correct doesn’t matter that much because no one’s seeing it anyway.
Based on what I think you’re trying to do you may not be able to use a CNAME.The information at https://glitch.com/help/custom-domain/#mydomainnameregistrarneedsanipaddress may be informative.

I think that should be your A record, not a CNAME, but otherwise looks right.
And I want to point out that @Callum-OKane is correct, you can use glitch.edgeapp.net instead of your *.shw.io domain.
Once you save that, I’d check the Dig Web Interface link I posted earlier in 30 mins or so and that should help determine if it’s getting sent to the internet.
@leny32
The host has to be what the url for the site will be
If the host is set to “www”, then the site would be viewable at “www.yourdomain.net ”
and if the host is set to “yourdoman.net ” then it would work without anything before the domain like “www”, or “support”.
Then the Target (IP Address), will have to be set to glitch.edgeapp.net
Try getting everything like that and tell me if it works for you then, and if not, show the configuration you have afterwards.

@leny32 given this configuration, you may be able to leave Host blank, and if you’re setting an A record you need an IP, not a domain name - you can find the current IP of glitch.edgeapp.net
at https://www.digwebinterface.com/?hostnames=glitch.edgeapp.net&type=A&colorize=on&useresolver=8.8.4.4

@leny32 I think you might need to put a “.” In the Host field. Here’s the domain that you’ve set the A record for: https://www.digwebinterface.com/?hostnames=www.guardian.pw.guardian.pw&type=&colorize=on&ns=resolver&useresolver=8.8.4.4
Here’s what my NameCheap A record DNS config for an “apex” domain (one without a subdomain) looks like:
If you want to use www.guardian.pw, the. You’d want to use “www” in the Host field and you can use a CNAME and the glitch.edgeapp.net address.

You want the one for the glitch.edgeapp.net domain that I linked to in CNAME and my domain isnt working , above.

Can someone just tell me what I should put in every single field? http://prntscr.com/nhv4x4
You can leave the host as “www” without the domain at the end.

So now I just wait for it to go on the internet?
All you got to do is share the website link, it is already on the internet.

Sorry, I gave the wrong link above.
The link https://www.guardian.pw will work for you.
