Netlify site name: https://tranquil-meringue-e389ba.netlify.app/
I’ve been waiting for the Netlify DNS for my site drillxsupply.com. I’ve modified the name servers, added my A name and CNAME. My domain was purchased from Wix.
I’m not sure what else to do.
@Carter_Nuckolls You should check your DNS records in Wix and ensure the change has been made.
When I check your DNS records, I see:
Apex - A = 185.230.63.107
WWW - CNAME = initial.wixdns.net.
You can confirm this from a range of regions at once with this:
Are these supposed to say something different if they are moved over to Netlify?
Yes, since they’re the A and CNAME records, and you said this:
I saw you said name servers too, but I’d presumed you had misspoke or were confused.
As they’re also clearly pointed at Wix:
You also don’t need to do both within Wix’s UI.
You either…
Use ‘Netlify DNS’ - (Set the Name servers)
https://docs.netlify.com/domains-https/netlify-dns/
(Setting the Name servers means you would do all your DNS management with Netlify)
OR
‘Configure External DNS’ - (Set the A/CNAME Records)
https://docs.netlify.com/domains-https/custom-domains/configure-external-dns/
(You would manage your DNS with Wix and only your site records would point to Netlify)
What do I need to change the A name and CNAME to on Wix to make it work?
@Carter_Nuckolls If you aren’t changing the Name servers, then you would change the A and CNAME records as per the link to the documentation I provided:
https://docs.netlify.com/domains-https/custom-domains/configure-external-dns/
You configure the www subdomain following this step:
https://docs.netlify.com/domains-https/custom-domains/configure-external-dns/#configure-a-subdomain
You configure the apex following this step:
https://docs.netlify.com/domains-https/custom-domains/configure-external-dns/#configure-an-apex-domain
After following that, I’d expect:
The CNAME record to point to your site name.
The A record to point to Netlify’s load balancer.
I’ve updated the A record to point to the IP address given on the documentation. For the CNAME, I’ve updated it to reflect the https://tranquil-meringue-e389ba.netlify.app. When I go to the DNS checker, it shows the A name with checkmarks but the CNAME is giving X’s. What am I doing wrong?
Nevermind. It was because I didn’t put www.drillxsupply.com into the DNS checker. Since these are all updated, will this work now?
@Carter_Nuckolls Yes, the A and CNAME records match what I’d expect now.
Although I’m not seeing your site with https which is odd.
Ensure you’ve added the custom domain to the site:
https://docs.netlify.com/domains-https/custom-domains/
Ensure a certificate has been provisioned:
https://docs.netlify.com/domains-https/https-ssl/#netlify-managed-certificates
The certificate is there. It says could take up to 24 hours for provisioning so I will check then. Thank you so much for all of your help!
