Troubleshooting & FAQs

DNS Setup Issues

Troubleshoot domain connection problems and resolve DNS configuration errors.

When your domain isn't connected, your generated files can't be hosted or accessed at your subdomain (e.g., geo.example.com).

Wait for DNS Propagation

DNS changes can take 15-30 minutes to propagate globally. Be patient and avoid making multiple changes during this period.
4

Clear DNS Cache

Clear your local DNS cache and recheck the connection.
# Check DNS resolution
dig geo.example.com

# Or use nslookup
nslookup geo.example.com
5

Refresh Dashboard

Return to your Geordy dashboard and refresh the page to see updated connection status.

Common DNS Provider Issues

  • Cloudflare: Ensure the DNS record is not proxied (gray cloud icon, not orange)
  • GoDaddy: Use "@" for root domain or "geo" for subdomain in the Host field
  • Namecheap: Leave TTL as "Automatic" or set to 3600 seconds
