SSL DNS verification failed but DIG/Curl OK

[DevBear]

Trying to get SSL cert for automobile-assistance.com using Netlify DNS but keep getting error:
“DNS verification failed”

But when I check Dig or Curl, everthing looks as it should be with the correct Netlify server and Registra has the correct Netlify Nameservers.

Anyone any ideas?

p.s. I had logged support for this, but then noticied it might take some time and the site is currently down because of lack of SSL, so I was wondering if anyone here might have any pointers.

The new DNS values for Netlify must first be in place and correct, and then issuing the certificate is a breeze! Below are the steps to follow for a successful migration with minimal downtime. There are quite a few steps in this process, not gonna lie. But no worries, you got this. Take a read throu…

Yes, thank you. Sadly I’d missed Laura’s great post on minimizing downtime, a must read for everyone moving their domains to Netlify!
