Website build and deployed successfully but not available on the url

My website is deployed correctly according to the board:
naughty-goldstine-ab40e9
I can navigate the preview correctly. However, it doesn’t show up on the domain I have llrs.dev (when previously it did).

The configuration DNS of the domain has the following line, I am using the domains.google/registrar/:

www.llrs.dev	CNAME	1 hour	naughty-goldstine-ab40e9.netlify.com. 

I’ve read the I’ve deployed my site but I still see “Page not found” FAQ but given that the preview shows the website correctly and that I couldn’t download the zip (It remained on “Generating zip” for a while) it wasn’t useful.

Also I had set up the base url on the netlify.toml file of my repo and when I added it to the website it didn’t change anything.

The latest deployment

I cleared the cache and rebuild after setting the base dir on the configuration menu

Last time something like this happened I had a record on the CNAME pointing to a direction I wasn’t using, after deletion it worked. But now such a record doesn’t exists. I have other subdomains such as ghana.llrs.dev directly served from github pages that work, so I don’t think the domain is off or unaccessible.

TLDR: I think I’ve set up everything right but my website “successfully” deployed by netfly don’t show up on the desired url.

Hi @llrs

If you check Google Admin Toolbox Dig or Zoho Toolkit it shows you have both a CNAME and an A record for www.llrs.dev and no records for llrs.dev. This is not the correct way to set up a custom domain for use on Netlify.

Check out the Configure external DNS for a custom domain documentation and [Support Guide] DNS Quick Start - How to set up DNS.

If you have further questions do not hesitate to reply here.

Many thanks for the quick reply on a Saturday. Sorry, I don’t fully grasp what is CNAME and an A record do. I added it and now the website is accessible.

I had the same problem (deploy successful but not reachable) a couple of months ago when I had an A record pointing to 75.2.60.5 (Just learned it was the netlify load balancer). Will check it more often
