Hi everyone,
I’m having ongoing trouble setting up my custom domain on Netlify and would really appreciate some help.
Netlify site name: stately-cendol-806721.netlify.app
Custom domain: spanglitalianlanguages.com
Issue:
My domain is not properly pointing to Netlify. I get the error:
“DNS verification failed — spanglitalianlanguages.com doesn’t appear to be served by Netlify.”
Because of this, Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates won’t provision.
When the site loads, it often shows SSL errors like ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR
or privacy warnings, especially on the www
version.
Sometimes the site loads without issues, but it’s inconsistent.
What I’ve done so far:
On Cloudflare DNS, I have:
Two A records for @
pointing to 75.2.60.5 and 99.83.190.102 (Netlify IPs)
A CNAME for www
pointing to stately-cendol-806721.netlify.app
Disabled proxy (orange cloud off) on these records
*Waited more than 24 hours for DNS changes to propagate
Added a _redirects
file in my Netlify site to force HTTPS
Still having problems:
SSL certificate won’t renew or provision
DNS verification keeps failing
Site is accessible only sporadically or with security errors
Could anyone help me figure out what I’m missing or what to fix? I’m happy to provide any further info or logs needed.
Thanks so much!
