DNS change from Godaddy to Netlify


Problem: I have svilab.com and www.svilab.com pointing to the managed DNS servers from Netlify. I would like crm.svilab.com to point to a Godaddy IP address 160.153.33.96

Here is what I have done so far:

Migrated my DNS from Godaddy to Netlify by changing the nameservers to

dns1.p06.nsone.net
dns2.p06.nsone.net
dns3.p06.nsone.net
dns4.p06.nsone.net

Created an A record that goes to crm.svilab.com -> 160.153.33.96 which is a godaddy server.

What I am expecting is to see:

A login page for the suitecrm I setup.

What I am actually seeing is:

Future home of something quite cool. I have verified that the home.html for this default page does not exist in the public_html on godaddy.


Solution

  • I setup the A record correctly. See my dropbox link The problem was on netlify's side. From their email...

    You made the record correctly. There is a known bug (cross-linked to this conversation for tracking) were sometimes, very rarely but sometimes, the DNS record gets created in our UI but not in the actual DNS server.

    So, our UI says there is a record, when in reality there isn't one.

    To clarify, you did everything correctly and it was a bug on our end. I deleted and recreated that A record in the Netlify UI and it worked the second time around.
