I am trying to connect my domain to my app, however I am having a small issue. From what I see, bubble typically issues the IP for the A & CNAME records instead of the alphanumerical domain. GoDaddy had no problems with the “app.bubble.io” for the CNAME record, but refuses to accept it for A record. It wants the strictly numerical IP address. I tried searching the forums but it seems the majority gets an IP to set for DNS, not actual domain…so, i’ve run out of road lol
I don’t think an A record is the same as an ALIAS/ANAME record. I have Godaddy also and CloudFlare doesn’t play nice with Godaddy, and I met the bubble developers today at their office and they said that they’re going to be rolling out a tutorial on how to integrate cloudflare for godaddy users but it may involve needing to move your domain off of godaddy. They should post a video or tutorial soon.
I should have known that anything involving GoDaddy was going to be difficult…even something as simple as DNS settings. I have owned this domain for about 8 years and never used it…i just got drunk one night and bought something like 25 or 30 domains. I never used it…just sat there parked…then when I go to use it? Nope! GODADDY FTW!
It isn’t an issue with Godaddy, it is an issue with Bubble and what they are forcing on people.
ANAME has not even been agreed as a standard yet, so could be implemented in many different ways.
Last week, this would have worked fine. Now … you are stuck. And if “moving off your provider” is the answer … then that is jut going to annoy people still further.
As @jonathan.timianko mentioned, we’re aware of this issue with GoDaddy and of the fact that a large number of our users are on this domain provider; we are planning to release a tutorial for the appropriate setup steps by early next week.
I hope it’ll be very soon…Worked on this for the past 9 months upgraded my plan, only to find out that i can’t even link my DNS…very frustrating… I can’t even do anything with my app. Causing unnecessary delays.
