@Adge47 It looks like you have been able to sort this out but the problem was coming from the record for @ and www pointing to different providers. Both would need to point to the host for your website.
Type: A
Host/name: @
Points to/value: [hosting IP address]
Then there can be another A record like above for host www, or a CNAME can be used to like below that says use the same IP address as the bare domain.
Type: CNAME
Host/name: www
Points to/value: @
Hello Adge47, I hope you are well. I think there's a little mistake in your settings. To connect your domain name to your website you’ll need to change your nameservers. How you change your nameservers depends on where your domain is registered and where your website is registered.
Use the table below to find the scenario that's applicable to your situation and follow those instructions.
My domain is registered with My website is hosted with Follow these instructions...
GoDaddy | GoDaddy | Set nameservers for domains hosted & registered with GoDaddy |
GoDaddy | Another Company | First, get the names of your nameservers from your website hosting company. Then, change your domain to use your website hosting company's nameservers |
Another Company | GoDaddy | First, find out what your GoDaddy nameservers are Then, provide them to the company where your domain is registered |
Another Company | DNS Hosting (formerly known as "Off-Site DNS") | Manage DNS zone files for your domain registered at another company |
GoDaddy | VPS/Dedicated here | First, create your own nameservers Then, update your domain name to use your newly created nameservers |
