Setting subdomain in namecheap to netlify

Support
,

I just bough a domain “iwgx.io” from Namecheap

and I already netlify site that is https://iwgx.netlify.app/

and I want add custom subdomain that is “blog.iwgx.io” for that site (https://iwgx.netlify.app/), without using custom nameserver

since I’m deployed many of my apps in several places (netlify, vercel, render, etc), how to do that?

in other word: how can I just get the CNAME record so I’m able to connect it to namecheap?

The docs have an answer: Configure external DNS for a custom domain | Netlify Docs

Hi, @iwgx. @hrishikesh is correct.

Also, I recommend to start off with the external DNS instructions and make a DNS record like this (meaning, make the record at Namecheap):

blog 1800 IN CNAME  iwgx.netlify.app

Then use the instructions @hrishikesh sent to add the custom domain to the site settings.

If that doesn’t work or if there are other questions, please let us know.

welp, it’ solved now looks like i must wait for a while

Hi, @iwgx. Most often the delay is caused by time to live (TTL) values:

yeah, thanks it’s been solved now

but tbh I don’t like the experience, at least it should show loading spinner (like Vercel does) not show the error, It really make me confused since I don’t know what wrong

Hi, @iwgx, there was no issue at Netlify. The issue was with your local system or resolver.

A remote system won’t be able to detect local DNS caching issue for your system so there is no way for us to show a spinner. SSL was only not working for you because of your local TTL issues.

Sorry, I think we have misunderstanding here, I mean not the loading when “Netlify show it’s been enabled, but I’m still not get https” like I show in my previous comment with the screenshot

I think it will better If I show a video instead sorry

Hi, @iwgx, if you are not getting SSL for a response to that site, we need more information to troubleshoot.

First, if possible, please send us the x-nf-request-id response header which we send with all HTTP responses for the failing HTTP request. There more information about this header here:

If that header isn’t available for any reason (like a failed SSL negotiation), please send the information it replaces (or as many of these details as possible). Those details are:

  • the complete URL requested
  • the IP address for the system making the request
  • the IP address for the CDN node that responded
  • the day of the request
  • the time of the request
  • the timezone the time is in

We are happy to troubleshoot if you help us to do so by providing this information.
