Registered Custom Domain Not Available

Developers JavaScript

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!

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).

This is my setup:

It all looks correct to me :man_shrugging:

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 @
