I hosted my website on blogger.com. They asked me to add 2 CNAME records; one got added fine on godaddy but other (www) is not getting added. It gives me error "An Unexpected Error Occurred. If This Issue Continues, Contact Support. "
Problem was that www CNAME is already defined with value as # . Godaddy was not giving proper error message that "CNAME already exists". I just edited that existing CNAME and it worked fine.

There seems to be a conflict between the DNS settings SquareSpace needs in order to set up a connection to the SquareSpace Analytics Search Console and what DNS settings Ionos will allow.
On Square Space the relevant setting are found at Home > Analytics > Connect followed by logging in with a gmail account and then clicking on Allow. At which we get the error message
Something went wrong
Sorry, something went wrong there. Please try again
I raised a query with SquareSpace and their response boils down to
There's one DNS record missing. You'd need to go into your domain's
DNS settings in your domain provider's end and then add the following
record:
Type: CNAME
Host: www
Points To: ext-cust.squarespace.com
Over to IONOS where the domain is registered and into the DNS settings which are currently
MX # mx00.1and1.co.uk
MX # mx01.1and1.co.uk
TXT # "v=spf1 include:_spf.perfora.net include:_spf.kundenserver.de -all" -
CNAME _domainconnect _domainconnect.1and1.com Standard Record
CNAME autodiscover adsredir.1and1.info Standard Record
A ftp 198.185.159.144
and attempt to add a new record as per SquareSpace's instructions above, only to get the error message
A CNAME record can only be set for a subdomain. To alias your main domain please use Redirect
But looking at redirect I'm worried that, if I set this up, all the email addresses that use the same domain and Ionos' mail servers will fail. I seem to remember trying this exercise about 2 years ago, but managed to kill everyone's email accounts (!) until I removed it again.
Has anyone had this problem and solved it? It seems specific to SquareSpace / Ionos as they both give a standard set of instructions which they expect to work.
Later
After working with Ionos' customer service desk, they managed to add the required Squarespace DNS entry and they now read
TYPE HOST NAME VALUE SERVICE ACTIONS
CNAME autodiscover.www adsredir.1and1.info Standard Record
CNAME www ext-cust.squarespace.com -
CNAME autodiscover adsredir.1and1.info Standard Record
CNAME _domainconnect _domainconnect.1and1.com Standard Record
TXT # "v=spf1 include:_spf.perfora.net include:_spf.kundenserver.de -all" -
MX # mx01.1and1.co.uk -
MX # mx00.1and1.co.uk -
A # 198.185.159.144
But the problem persists, something is still wrong when I try to attach the Google search console (AKA Squarespace Analytics Search Console -
Squarespace call it two different names in different parts of their site).
Having fixed the DNS entries to satisfy Squarespace, the "allow" error still persisted.
Squarespace customer service then suggested clearing the browser cache or using a different browser. Clearing the Chrome cache didn't work, but switching from Chrome to MS Edge did. Logging into our Squarespace account on Edge finally let the process run to completion.
I presume there must have been some information still cached in Chrome that Squarespace didn't like, I only cleared the temporary files, not the cookies or the history as I wanted to keep these for other sites.
The cause of the problem remains a mystery.
I have tried everything that has already been suggested on this site and others.
The Normal Way
Add my domain website.info to Heroku's "Domains and certificates".
Change the CNAME record to website.info.herokudns.com with the host www.
Leave the redirect record to be Host #, http://www.website.info.
Result:
"No Such App" comes up for Heroku.
The WWW way
The same thing as normal, except I added www.website.info to Heroku and removed website.info.
"This site can't be reached. www.website.info's server IP address could not be found."
Adding through the CLI
Installing heroku cli to my Git Bash: npm install -g heroku-cli
I try heroku domains:add website.info -a websiteapp.
"Domain already added to this app."
Tried accessing it. Same thing: "No Such App".
Removing the Redirect
Same thing as the normal way, just without the redirect.
"This website.info page can't be found" HTTP ERROR 404
I used to do this all the time when I was learning how to build web apps. Worked flawlessly. Did Heroku change something for free dynos? Do I need to run SSL or something?
At the very least, I can redirect the domain to the website.herokuapp.com domain, but I would rather not do that.
I've just had the same issue and tried all the methods you have tried plus more. In the end how got my custom domain to work was to set my namecheap Domain settings to Custom DNS.
elle.ns.cloudflare.com
rudy.ns.cloudflare.com
From there i used the www.customdomain.com format on heroku and set the rest up on Cloudflare as follows:
On the DNS Tab
Type Name Content TTL Proxy status
CNAME www myapp.herokuapp.com Auto Proxied
On the SSL/TLS Tab select Full
On the Page Rules Tab
If the URL matches:
customdomain.com/
Then the settings are:
Forwarding URL
301 - Permanent Redirect
/www.customdomain.com
After i applied those settings everything worked perfectly. I hope this can help anyone facing this issue in the future.
This question is highly similar to this, but barely different:
configuring namecheap domains with heroku
Here is what I have (for the purposes of hiding the original site, I have omitted its name for the string 'asdf'):
A namecheap domain titled as follows: asdf.com
A herokuapp running on a dyno that is hobby level that also has ACM set for automatic certificate management. It is running at https://asdf.herokuapp.com/ and this link works and gets my pushes from github integration. It is awesome :)
I want to link these up so that instead of having my site as https://asdf.herokuapp.com it would instead be https://asdf.com, so that is why I went and bought the namecheap domain for it, but linking these together I have failed at every opportunity. I have tried many different patterns but unfortunately I'm unknowledged on this layer of things. Here is something I have tried, but does not work:
On Heroku: Create a custom domain of: asdf.com
Heroku then supplies me with: asdf.com.herokudns.com
I then go into namecheap, and remove any and all possible cnames or redirects.
I create a new CNAME | host: www | target: asdf.com.herokudns.com
When trying to hit the site, I get this error:
ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED
If I try changing CNAME host to # on namecheap, I get:
ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR
Any help is greatly appreciated, and if more information is needed just ask.
Thank you.
I am experiencing the same issue. I've contacted Namecheap and Heroku both for support. This is what I've come up with, but my domain is still not resolving.
Since you're pointing www.mollydwellness.org at your app, you'll need to make sure you've added that to your Heroku config (currently you only have the non-www version assigned):
$ heroku domains:add www.mollydwellness.org --app mollydwellness
Once that is added, you should receive a new DNS target that you'll need to use to update your CNAME record.
$ heroku domains
=== mollydwellness Heroku Domain
mollydwellness.herokuapp.com
=== mollydwellness Custom Domains
Domain Name DNS Record Type DNS Target
────────────────────── ─────────────── ────────────────────────────────────
www.mollydwellness.org CNAME www.mollydwellness.org.herokudns.com
mollydwellness.org ALIAS or ANAME mollydwellness.org.herokudns.com
Namecheap Config
Type Host Value TTL
CNAME Record www
www.mollydwellness.org.herokudns.com.
5 min
URL Redirect Record
#
http://www.mollydwellness.org/
Unmasked
I am told to give it another 30 minutes before contacting support again. It's been 45 minutes and still not resolving.
Very confused, probably just going to deploy it myself to a VPS because that would be easier at this point. I went with Heroku to save myself time, but it appears there can be no shortcuts. More help from the community would be great.
the only thing you need to do for dns, is going to heroku, setting the following on the custom domain :
*.mywebsite.com
mywebsite.com
www.mywebsite.com
on Namecheap you do the following configuration:
CNAME Record # myapp.herokuapp.com. 1 min
CNAME Record www myapp.herokuapp.com. 1 min
URL Redirect Record # https://www.myapp.herokuapp.com Unmasked
URL Redirect Record www https://www.aipredictor.herokuapp.com Unmasked
and you are done. that covers all of the possible scenarios.
I have bought a new domain but it showing DNS error to me Check Please and Give Solution https://wisheshub.com/
Works fine in my browser , probably you should have waited for the DNS server to update
Last night I purchased a new domain with the intention of turning it into a vanity url service for my blog!
I created the a record on both cpanel and my domain registrar to point to bit.ly. This morning however once the domain had propagated I went to verify my domain with bitly and was still getting the same message...
Short Domain verification failed for "bblg.in". Neither an A Record
nor a CNAME record was found.
I went to to domain in chrome and I am getting a 403 forbidden page however if I goto the www. version of that domain it automatically redirects to bitly.com
Weirdly if I visit the non-www version of that domain on chrome on my android mobile device that redirects to the mobile version of bitly.com but if i visit www.bblg.in on my mobile I get a 403 forbidden page.
I assume there is some redirect issue going on which is preventing me to verify my domain with bitly and would probably need a .htaccess file on there! Also to confirm there is nothing in the bblg.in file on my server just a cgi-bin file that automatically gets placed there.
Any help in this would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks
