My website stopped working. DNS stuck in "Awaiting Netlify DNS"

I just realized my website stopped working about a month ago.
Netlify Domain configuration shows “Awaiting Netlify DNS”

  • netlify site name: https://alexeime.netlify.app/
  • DNS issues? custom domain is registered with Cloudflare: alexei.me. Netlify Domain configuration shows “Awaiting Netlify DNS”
  • Did you try … - YES

Best, Alexey

It looks like you’re using Cloudflare nameservers:

% dig NS alexei.me


; <<>> DiG 9.18.21 <<>> NS alexei.me

But you have a Netlify DNS zone configured:

If you’d like to use Netlify DNS, you’ll need to point your NS records to

dns1.p06.nsone.net
dns2.p06.nsone.net
dns3.p06.nsone.net
dns4.p06.nsone.net

Otherwise, if you’d like to use external DNS, you’ll need to update your A and CNAME records to point to the following, and delete the Netlify DNS zone:

Type Name Value
A @ 75.2.60.5
CNAME www mysite.netlify.app
