I'm trying to set up my marketplace on Efty and hit a snag with the "custom domain" feature. The instructions say
But I think that I've not set up my DNS records (on Namecheap) properly, because it is not working. And yes, I've waited for it to propagate. This is what I have:
I am using the Namecheap default name servers (Namecheap BasicDNS)
These are Namecheap default configurations
Type: CNAME Record
Host: www
Value: parking (dot) namecheap (dot) com.
Type: URL Redirect Record
Host: @
Value: http : // www (dot) mycustomdomain (dot) com/
And I added this A Record according to the Efty instructions:
Type:A Record
Host: @
Value: 5.153.42.104
However, Efty doesn't give too many details or instructions, other than to "Point it" so I'm unsure what the Host value should be? Also, should I change and/or delete the other records? What am I doing wrong here?
Any help greatly appreciated!
- Log in to the registrar where your domain is hosted
- Make sure you are using your registrars default name servers
- Point the A-record of your custom domain to 5.153.42.104
- Enter your custom domain below
- Hit 'Test domain', and 'Save' afterwards
- You're good to go!
