Hi, I’m currently facing a problem for my domain.
I have recently tried to add multiple DNS records for my email server to work. One of these records was an A record with the value same as the NETLIFY record. Therefore, I had to delete the NETLIFY record, which led to my website going down.
So the problem I’m facing now is that I can only add one of the two DNS records (A or NETLIFY). Is there a way I can add both?
Thanks in advance!
The domain is ber.al
