DNS configuration with external domain

Hi @Graphandco,

You’ll want to use 75.2.60.5 instead of 104.198.14.52 (this IP is deprecated). Since you’re using External DNS, you’ll follow option 1 of this Support Guide.

Additionally, I see you have a inactive DNS Zone configured:

dig graphandco.com NS +trace | tail -n 6                                                                                  
graphandco.com.		86400	IN	NS	ns1092.ui-dns.com.
graphandco.com.		86400	IN	NS	ns1101.ui-dns.org.
graphandco.com.		86400	IN	NS	ns1037.ui-dns.biz.
graphandco.com.		86400	IN	NS	ns1024.ui-dns.de.
;; Received 163 bytes from 217.160.81.37#53(ns1037.ui-dns.biz) in 40 ms

The last line, ;; Received 163 bytes from 217.160.81.37#53(ns1037.ui-dns.biz) in 40 ms, shows the name server that answered this query last. Since it’s not a Netlify name server the DNS Zone is inactive.

We have a Support Guide on inactive DNS Zones on inactive DNS Zones. This section of the Support Guide addresses how exactly to fix the inactive DNS zone.

To summarize, you’ll want to use 75.2.60.5 for the A Record for graphandco.com. For www.graphandco.com you’ll continue to use graphandco-next.netlify.app as @coelmay mentioned and you’ll want to fix the inactive DNS Zone.
