Understanding DNS Update Delays
DNS Propagation: After updating your DNS records, it typically takes a few hours for the changes to propagate throughout the internet. Please wait one to two hours and then attempt to validate your settings again.
A Record Errors
If you encounter issues related to A records:
Check Existing Records:
Ensure there are no old A or AAAA records still active.
Wait at least two hours after making changes before attempting verification.
You should have one A record with the "@" key pointing to 34.110.208.101.
CNAME Record Errors
For CNAME record issues:
Verify Record Configuration:
Confirm there is only one CNAME record for the desired name and no A records conflicting under that name.
For instance, if registering
shop.myshop.com, you should have only one record for 'shop' pointing to rentle.domains without any A records for 'shop'.Wait two hours after updating records before verifying.
Ensure the CNAME record value is correct; e.g.,
rentle.domains.When adding subdomains like
rent.myshop.com, the record should be 'rent', not 'rent.myshop.com'; fornew.rent.myshop.com, it should be 'new.rent', not 'new.rent.myshop.com'.
My Provider Does Not Support CNAME or A Records
NS Records Only: If your provider does not offer A or CNAME records, consider transferring your domain to a provider that does, such as Cloudflare or Google Domains.
Editing A Records Issues
If you cannot edit A records:
Check for Redirect Rules:
Inspect your DNS settings for any existing redirect rules which might lock the A records.
Remove any redirecting options and wait a few minutes for the A records to be unlocked.
Accessing DNS Settings
Provider-Specific Instructions: Each domain provider has unique procedures for updating DNS settings. Consult your provider’s documentation for detailed instructions. We provide a list of common providers and their DNS settings documentation for easy access.
