Connecting a custom domain to a website built with Webstudio
At a glance
The community member is having trouble adding their domain to a website built with Webstudio. The issue is that Webstudio requires a CNAME record with the name "@" pointing to a specific domain, but this configuration is not possible with their domain registrar, FastComet, as CNAME records cannot coexist with other record types for the root domain. FastComet suggests this is a limitation of DNS standards, not specific to their service.
The comments suggest that good DNS providers like Namecheap and Cloudflare do support CNAME records on the root domain. However, Cloudflare does not offer .de TLDs, which is the domain the community member is using. The community member tries using Cloudflare as a nameserver, but encounters an error about an existing A, AAAA, or CNAME record. After some troubleshooting, the community member is able to successfully change their DNS settings, and the issue is marked as "SOLVED".
Hey, I tried to add my domain to a website I built with webstudio but I´m not able to add the cname. I´m working with fastcomet for my domain.
"The issue is that Webstudio requires a CNAME record with the name "@" (representing the root domain) pointing to "yoqofi-bikoj-alomo.customers.wstd.io". However, this configuration is not possible in FastComet's DNS zone for two main reasons:
A CNAME record cannot coexist with other record types (like A and MX) for the root domain. The root domain typically requires an A record pointing to an IP address, not a CNAME record pointing to another domain.
FastComet suggests that this is a limitation of DNS standards, not specific to their service, and changing domain providers likely won't solve the issue."
