How to link existing domain name to new netlify website

[acandael]

I created a new netlify website:
serene-colden-826fc7.netlify.app

now I want to connect my custom domain name (www.anthonycandaele.com) to this website.

the domain name is hosted by Godaddy, so I replaced Godaddy’s name servers by the netlify name servers.

I did this two days ago, but when I try to surf to www.anthonycandaele.com I get a page not found error.

Do I need to do something else to couple my domain name to the netlify website?

thanks for your advice,

Anthony

For debugging problems with your live site, make sure it says “Published Deploy” on the …

thanks Perry, seems to be my bad. I had only pushed a README.md file to the repository. I pushed the rest of the files and now it’s working.
