Bought custom domain, doesn't seem to work though

[bscott97]

Hello,

I bought britneyscott.com from Netflify, but am not sure what is wrong. This website leads to an error on all of my devices and browsers:

This site can’t be reached

britneyscott.com ’s server IP address could not be found.

Within my Netlify account, though, it says the site is live. I tried re-deploying the website with no success.

Hi Britney,

if you just set up your site your DNS may not be working just yet. See more on that here.

[Common Issue] How do time to live (TTL) values affect changes to DNS records?

How do time to live (TTL) values affect changes to DNS records? People often ask why the changes to DNS (Domain Name System) records are not taking effect. The answer to this often involves a core mechanism of how DNS functions - the “time to live” (TTL) values for the DNS records themselves. This topic is here to answer those questions! You might make a DNS record change, double check that it is working for you, but Netlify or Google’s DNS still shows the previous DNS record. Why don’t …

what is the netlify site name? if your deploy is successful, it should be live there at least, so that is something to check. if the deploy wasn’t successful (check your deploy logs in the Netlify dashboard) then that’s be the first thing to troubleshoot.
