I am trying to setup my custom domain for my website.
I followed all the steps necessary to get my custom domain registered:
{“name”:“idmempres.info”,“canister”:“ctyk5-niaaa-aaaan-qzwza-cai”,“state”:“Available”}
To get this registered, I setup:
- 2 CNAME
- 1 TXT
- Added the applicable files to my frontend canister
- Triggered my registration process
However, when I navigate to the website (idmempres.info), it doesn’t work.
It has been almost a day since I registered the custom domain.
Thank you for the help!
$ curl -I https://idmempres.info
**curl: (6) Could not resolve host: idmempres.info**
$ nslookup -type=NS idmempres.info
Server: 2600:1700:c16e:8c00::1
Address: 2600:1700:c16e:8c00::1#53
Non-authoritative answer:
idmempres.info nameserver = dns2.registrar-servers.com.
idmempres.info nameserver = dns1.registrar-servers.com.

Is it possible that the DNS resolution process is not finished yet? I bought the domain name less than a day ago.
Hey @Delpen9
It looks like you didn’t configure the CNAME/ALIAS/ANAME for idmempres.info. You should point idmempres.info
to idmempres.info.icp1.io
. Are you sure you have set that up? Can you post a screenshot of your config?
Ive set up multiple custom domains on ic, on average it took about 48 hours for dns propagation.
If its not working stll after 2 days probably you made mistake on your cname fields as rbirkner said (double check).
It all looks correct to me 
Who is your dns provider?
Hey @Delpen9
The problem is your CNAME for idmempres.info
. This is actually an entry for idmempres.info.idmempres.info
as your DNS provider always adds your apex domain to the specified host. You can see that when making a DNS lookup:
$ dig idmempres.info
<NO ANsw
$ dig idmempres.info.idmempres.info
...

In the instructions for Namecheap, you can find how to it correctly: see here.

Looks like you’re using namecheap. I think CNAME 2nd row down host should be @
