Troubleshooting

CAA Records with Cloudflare

If you are using Cloudflare and your domain connection failed, please add this CAA record on your DNS records and try again.

Cloudflare Proxies

If you are using Cloudflare, you may need to disable the proxy and set it to DNS only. Additionally, you may need to leave the proxy running on the dummy A record (the URL generated by The.com). This will allows a page rule to trigger the root domain.
