New netflify domain, free account, confusion on subdomain (points to existing netlify app)

Hello Forum,

So I am new quite new to netlify and just registered a new domain using netlify as domain provider: thomasjt.com

I am on a FREE ACCOUNT at the moment.

For some reason an app I deployed yesterday, flowerpod, sits in DNS record for domain:
thomasjt.com 3600 INNETLIFY flowerpod.netlify.app
www.thomasjt.com 3600 INNETLIFY flowerpod.netlify.app

Why is flowerpod in there and how do I get rid of it. I mean I don’t want it linked to thomasjt.com but I don’t want to delete it completely as I have my other github deploy running on it.

Should I create a new CNAME record :thomasjt.netlify.app?

Because today thomasjt.com resolves to flowerpod.netlify.app :roll_eyes:

Thankful for help!

If you don’t want thomasjt.com to resolve to flowerpod.netlify.app, you can remove the custom domain from that site by clicking “remove domain” from the options dropdown menu. You can then add that custom domain to whatever site you’d like it to resolve to.

Hi

If I remove flowerpod from options, for thomasjt.com, will that affect yesterdays deploy from github which is under flowerpod.netlify.app?

Will remove and add a CNAME record for tthomasjt.netlify.app.

Thanks :pray:t6:

No, your deploy will still be available at flowerpod.netlify.app, removing the custom domain won’t affect that.

Thanks for the help sid.m! :slightly_smiling_face:
