Custom Domain Godaddy

[pkevz90]

How’s it going guys, having some difficulty applying my dns records correctly for my domain name. I’ve added an additional CNAME but was not sure what “name” it required.

Thanks!!!

Hi there @pkevz90!
Welcome to the Glitch community
You’re right that it needs to be a CNAME
If you want the main domain to be the site, it should be OK to use @ as the name. If using @ doesn’t work, try typing it the domain as the name. Then make that point to glitch.edgeapp.net (that’s the value)
If you need more help, please send a screenshot of how you are trying to add the CNAME on

@EddiesTech

it should be OK to use @

You can use @ in CNAMES if you use Cloudflare.

I think GoDaddy supports it also

Sot this is what I have, and I’m still getting this response

This site can’t be reached

oem-astro.space ’s server IP address could not be found.

Thank you!

Try clearing your cache or using a different dns, your domain setup looks fine (although using cloudflare would be beneficial).
Edit: Godaddy doesn’t support CNAME flattening and that is probably the issue, see http://www.befreeandwealthy.com/2016/12/27/use-flattening-cname-with-godaddy/

Host: The host name, or prefix, the CNAME record will be set to. You can include a period (.) but not as the first or last character. Consecutive periods (…) are not allowed, and the host cannot exceed 25 characters or be the @ symbol. You can’t use a host that’s already assigned to an existing A record, TXT record or MX record.
