Very clear. The only thing that is not quite clear is whether the 4 records on a new domain that was bought yesterday should be deleted or not. I have no a records just 2 TXT 1 CNAME and 1 ALIAS. Judging from the video I keep them and delete add the name A and AAAA records from my web host

I have two things that look like IP addresses on hostinger one under nameservers and one under website details. Which one is it?

Question: do the A and CNAME records migrate from google when transferred?

Hi Sam, cab you help me to set a custom porkbun domain to my google site?

[BadAtThisDIY]

Hi. In your ip address example, you used the ending of the ip address as .2 for the record you left HOST blank for and .3 for the www record you. Are those two ip addresses or was it a typo

How do I add a Porkbun subdomain to my Porkbun site? The examples say "follow the registrar's instructions" buuut what if Porkbun IS my registrar, what "answer" do I use?

Does it take 48 hours to reflect changes because whenever i visit domain name then it shows sit can't reached even it's connected to netlify successful

[PurpleSageCH]

This is great, however, I cannot find my IP. any suggestions?

[ribaker]

Thanks for the video. I am able to add the www one but I get an error when I try adding the blank one - 'ERROR: Could not add DNS record: A CNAME record with that host already exists. For more details, refer to .' Note that I manually deleted the pre-existing cname record but that didn't work.

I removed all default records and replace ns with Digital Ocean ones... but i see there is absent dot after submitting. I created A records as shown in video but it pasts over two hours i got 404 (002) pixie proxy in browser. Who knows is normal while within ns propagation time?
