Dreamhost DNS setup

[emc1217]

Hello! I am trying to connect my dreamhost custom domain to by bubble app and it doesn’t work properly. My url sometimes gives me a 202 error and sometimes takes me back to the previous website that was registered with this domain. In my bubble settings it says "we have found bad dns records for […] These records are pointing to the servers that do not belong to Bubble: A record […].
I have received an email from bubble saying my DNS records are wrong.
It has been more than 24h since i changed the domain.

In my dreamhost, i have changed the “custom DNS records” like bubble said (four A types, two with empty name and two with www), but my “Non-editable DreamHost DNS records” have not changed. I also have an option to change “nameservers” but i don’t know what that means.

Please help!! My domain is ninetytwo.app.

Hey @emc1217,

Welcome to the Bubble community!

Can you send a screenshot of what your DNS records look like?

Have you watched this video by @Jeremy at Bubble?

Yes but it doesn’t cover dreamhost… i haven’t put @ instead of a blank in the name section, as i wasn’t sure. Maybe that is the problem?

Do you have a screenshot of your records?

Have you reached out to Dreamhost to get their www A record removed from the non-editable records? Also, make sure to add the root symbol for the A values you’ve set. Not 100% sure if that affects it but I think it’s worth a try!

You may also considering switching over to Cloudflare or some other provider if you don’t use Dreamhost anymore for your hosting services.

Okay thanks. I will reach out to dreamhost.
Is the root symbol @ ?

[johnny]

yes it is

[emc1217]

I cannot add it.

[johnny]

Hmm… I guess for Dreamhost leaving it blank is equivalent for root.

[johnny]

The issue is the extra Dreamhost A record I believe

that’s why you get redirected here

Okay thank you very much.

No problem!
