Cannot manage DNS on Netlify for a externally bought domain

Support

Hey!

I have bought a domain from godaddy (gursensmile.com) I would like to manage the DNS on Netlify. From my perspective I did everything right according to the documentation, AI bot and answers on this forum.

Still when I try to open gursensmile.com I get this error: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

Here is the netlify domain: https://gilded-praline-d3d889.netlify.app/

How can I solve this?

It looks like your DNS is a little misconfigured. If you’re attempting to use Netlify DNS, you’ll want to update your NS records to point to the following:

dns1.p02.nsone.net
dns2.p02.nsone.net
dns3.p02.nsone.net
dns4.p02.nsone.net

You’ll then want to delete this A and CNAME record you created in the DNS panel here:

gursensmile.com 3600 IN A 75.2.60.5
www.gursensmile.com 3600 IN CNAME gilded-praline-d3d889.netlify.app

I’ll then recreate the required Netlify DNS records that were removed.

OK, I have deleted the A and CNAME records on Netlify. On Godaddy, the name servers are already pointing to the ones you have provided. Do I need to delete them and restate them still?

I backfilled the required records and the site is now up-and-running.

Amazing, it works! Thank you very much
