My domain hasn't propagated it seems?

Hi!

About 2 days ago I purchased a custom domain from a third party and modified the DNS records with:

dns1.p04.nsone.net

dns2.p04.nsone.net

dns3.p04.nsone.net

dns4.p04.nsone.net

I also added the A and CNAME as detailed here like this:

Type Host Value
A hablemos68voces.mx 75.2.60.5
A hablemos68voces.mx 99.83.190.102
CNAME www hablemos68voces.netlify.app

Unfortunately it has been waiting on dns propagation for over 2.5 days now and I’m concerned something has gone wrong.

I should also note that I get the underlined “Netlify DNS” indicator sometimes when I refresh and sometimes both still say “Netlify DNS propagating…”

I’d really appreciate any advice/suggestions? If I got to the page I see nothing or sometimes it works without SSL (which makes sense because the server hasn’t provisioned that yet).

Hi @zergatik,

Thanks for reaching out!

I’m seeing a couple of issues with the current DNS setup.

With Netlify, you’ll generally want to use either:

  • Netlify DNS (Netlify nameservers), or
  • External DNS managed at another provider

…but not both at the same time for the same domain.

Looking at the current configuration, I can see that the Netlify nameservers are configured:

dig hablemos68voces.mx NS +trace | tail -n 6
hablemos68voces.mx.	86400	IN	NS	dns1.p04.nsone.net.
hablemos68voces.mx.	86400	IN	NS	dns4.p04.nsone.net.
hablemos68voces.mx.	86400	IN	NS	dns3.p04.nsone.net.
hablemos68voces.mx.	86400	IN	NS	dns2.p04.nsone.net.
;; Received 136 bytes from 158.69.38.251#53(ns2.ihostingmx.com) in 84 ms

However, the final line still references ns2.ihostingmx.com, which suggests the nameserver changes may still be propagating or that the parent zone has not fully updated yet.

You can read our support guide about inactive DNS Zones here: [Support Guide] How to detect and fix inactive Netlify DNS zones

Additionally, I can see DNS records still resolving through the external DNS configuration:

host hablemos68voces.mx
hablemos68voces.mx has address 75.2.60.5
hablemos68voces.mx has address 99.83.190.102
hablemos68voces.mx mail is handled by 0 mail.ihostingmx.com.

host www.hablemos68voces.mx
www.hablemos68voces.mx is an alias for hablemos68voces.netlify.app.
hablemos68voces.netlify.app has address 98.84.224.111
hablemos68voces.netlify.app has address 18.208.88.157
hablemos68voces.netlify.app has IPv6 address 2600:1f18:16e:df01::258
hablemos68voces.netlify.app has IPv6 address 2600:1f18:16e:df01::259

If your intention is to use Netlify DNS, then you’ll want to fully remove the external DNS configuration from your registrar/provider and allow the Netlify nameservers to become authoritative.

Having a mixed or partially propagated DNS configuration can interfere with domain validation and SSL certificate provisioning.
