Www subdomain not working after setting up Netlify DNS

Hi everyone,

Straight to the point! www subdomain doesn’t redirect to the main domain out of the box when using Netlify DNS (site has been up & running for 5 days now - not DNS propagation related). Here are the steps I took:

I did the exact same steps for netflix10ans.com - and it all worked fine, www included. Really not sure what is wrong here. Maybe it is because of .fr? No clue.

Any advice and tips appreciated! Here are a few screenshots for context.

You’re not using Netlify DNS:

dig NS +trace @8.8.8.8 netflix10ans.fr
...
netflix10ans.fr.        10800   IN      NS      ns-147-b.gandi.net.
netflix10ans.fr.        10800   IN      NS      ns-239-a.gandi.net.
netflix10ans.fr.        10800   IN      NS      ns-191-c.gandi.net.
;; Received 122 bytes from 213.167.230.148#53(ns-147-b.gandi.net) in 10 ms

Indeed I reverted back to the original nameservers to see if there was anything I could change. A record goes to 75.2.60.5, and www CNAME now goes to my Netlify project, zingy-youtiao-eebac2.netlify.app (which should fix my issue).

Is there any downside to not using Netlify DNS? Am I losing on Netlify’s CDN network for instance? Thanks in advance.

You lose out on:

  • Automatic Deploy Subdomains
  • Automatic SSL for Branch Subdomain
  • Wildcard Domain
  • IPv6
