DNS Issues leading to my site not publishing

PLEASE help us help you by writing a good post!

My Site name is: rgkconsultinggroup.netlify.app ; however when I try to see it deployed on rgkconsultinggroup.com , it shows nothing. I assume it is a DNS issue.

Any advice?

Your DNS is configured incorrectly in a couple of ways, which I’ll outline below.

First, you have an inactive DNS zone:

You’re using external DNS but have a DNS zone configured, which can cause issues. I’d recommend deleting that DNS zone moving forward. You can read more about inactive DNS zones in our support guide here:

Second, your A records are incorrect:

dig rgkconsultinggroup.com

; <<>> DiG 9.18.21 <<>> rgkconsultinggroup.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 9766
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1


;; ANSWER SECTION:
rgkconsultinggroup.com.	600	IN	A	15.197.148.33
rgkconsultinggroup.com.	600	IN	A	3.33.130.190

You’ll want to update instead to a single A record pointing to 75.2.60.5.

Lastly, you’ll want to update your CNAME record to point to rgkconsultinggroup.netlify.app.

Thank you for the reply Sid. It seems I have updated all of these correctly. However, now I am still not geting it to work. Do you have a chance to give me a second look and more advice. Your first advice was extremely helpful.

Hey there! It looks like either the record was made incorrectly or has not propagated yet (it can take up to 48 hours), as I’m not seeing it:

from DNS Checker - DNS Check Propagation Tool

You should double-check your configuration, and if you still do not it propagating at the link I sent above, you will want to reach out to your domain registrar to have them verify it’s working correctly.

Thanks!
