DNS - From Godaddy to Netlify

hi there, i created a new site yesterday and have followed the DNS instructions however receive this error when navigating to the site (www.decodingfincrime.com / [http://decodingfincrime.com]

DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

The Domain was on GoDaddy if that helps

@darren-titc Check your DNS records, they aren’t pointed at Netlify.

If you’re unfamiliar with command line tools, you can use a site like this to check:

Thank you - i am a bit of a novice so trying to work out what i need to do. Do i add the CNAME records to Godaddy?

@darren-titc There are two options:

Use Netlify DNS

https://docs.netlify.com/domains-https/netlify-dns/
(Set your nameservers at GoDaddy to point to Netlify, then manage your DNS with Netlify)

Use External DNS

https://docs.netlify.com/domains-https/custom-domains/configure-external-dns/
(Set the A/CNAME records with GoDaddy)
