Cname

[xNerviger]

Hey,

I don’t want to change the DNS Server of my Domain so I want to validate it with the CNAME Validation. But it doesnt work. I checked it few times on dns.google.com and I get this answer:
https://dns.google/resolve?name=3a5ad5f9ce05a96a8d363db992bd031f.temporalnetwork.de&type=CNAME

Can you screenshot the DNS record with your current zone provider?

Hmm, I contacted them and they checked it a few times but here is a screenshot:

Google’s response seems to be okay for me:

"Answer":[{"name":"3a5ad5f9ce05a96a8d363db992bd031f.temporalnetwork.de.","type":5,"TTL":300,"data":"ns1.byet.org."}]

Yeah but I get this:

How long have you been waiting?

@Admin

Step 3: Wait for DNS caching/propagation

With the CNAME record set up, you’ll need to wait for the setting to take effect. This can take anywhere between around 30 minutes, to up to 24 hours.

This has to do with a number of factors, both from your DNS provider and from us, that affect how long this takes.

I am waiting since 25 minutes.

[ChrisPAR]

I see. Well, according to the article I linked, it can take up to 24 hours for the changes to be updated everywhere and recognized by the system, so check in every now and then to see if it has been updated.

Okay I check it tomorrow.

You can also try adding it in the control panel. I am not sure how the client area integration works, but it may add an additional delay.

[Admin]

Even if the client area doesn’t show the CNAME record as set up, you can just hit the Add Domain button and the request will be sent to the control panel.

The control panel has it’s own domain validation, so sometimes you can add a domain when the client area says it’s not ready yet, or not add the domain even though the client area says it should work.

Both the client area and the control panel are subject to DNS caching. But due to how DNS caching works, different systems can show different results.
