Hi everyone! Yeah, it's a bug fix.
I woke up to a message in my DM on Twitter, as shown below saying my blog is not responding.
I was taken aback and investigated what had occurred; after about 5 hours, I was still trying to fix it with no success.
The problem
After troubleshooting, I realized the error was coming from CNAME
mapped to my domain as suggested by Hasnode.
How to Fix This Problem
- Go to your hashnode dashboard
- As seen below, go to the domain section:
In the image above:
The first highlighted section represents the CNAME
that was added earlier to my custom DNS, which stops working all of a sudden.
The second section is the A Record
that I replaced with the CNAME
on my custom DNS.
All you have to do now is go to your hosting platform and erase the
CNAME
record you added; don't worry, we'll recreate it later.Add the
A Record
, point it to the IP address shown in the image above.Your Blog should be live ✌️
It may take up to 24 hours for DNS changes to propagate fully. But it's usually pretty quick. You can check the progress by using a service like this
