Hi,
I moved my custom domain, joshuaprusik.com, over to Micro.Blog for hosting a few weeks ago. Per the help article, it should automatically be configured, but I every time I try to use the domain in the “design” tab, it tells me it isn’t pointed to Micro.Blog. I’ve emailed support twice over the past few weeks and haven’t gotten a response.
Can someone assist?
Did you move to Micro.blog’s own registration service? Or are you using your own domain for your blog?
I did transfer my domain over from Squarespace to Micro.blog’s own registration service - I don’t believe I ever received anything from Name.com. My understanding is that the default records should be all that I need to get up and running (A, CNAME), but I haven’t been able to get it to work.
Those DNS settings look right but I wonder if the domain transfer hasn’t gone through yet so it’s not looking at the MB nameservers.
That’s beyond my technical know-how - I initiated the transfer on August 10, so I would think that it has had plenty of time to process. I wonder if there’s something on the backend that needs to be done by MB support.
You need to add the custom domain name you have registered to your hostname field so it can point to 104.200.22.214. See above for mine. You shouldn’t need the CNAME entry, either. I just use the A record.
HOST = HOSTNAME, ANSWER = VALUE.
Oh duh I missed that. I do think you need the CNAME though for www forwarding. Here’s my working set of DNS records.
That should do it then 
It might take a few minutes. It could take a few hours. Depends on the registrars DNS refresh policies.
You’re still missing the * in hostname
@manton Any help? I’m still not functional on my domain.
With editing a domain inside Micro.blog, a couple of those records are not necessary. I’ve edited your records to match just the basics: “www” and the IP address for the root domain name.
The last missing piece was you need to set the domain name for your blog on the Design page. I’ve updated it there too, should be good as soon as the DNS changes have finished propagating everywhere.
Thanks, Manton. I’m seeing that it’s not loading - any additional help would be appreciated.
I just replied in email. Looks like it’s working now for me.
Hi again! I’d hoped that this would resolve, but it still hasn’t. It looks like there’s an issue with the DNS records, but that’s well beyond my tech literacy. Is that something that can be fixed on your end?
@manton, just plugging this issue again. Thanks!
Hey @manton, bumping this again. Because of the DNS issue, I’ve not been able to access my site on my home network, or most networks, since the beginning of September. I don’t believe there’s a solution on my end of the service, unless I’m missing something
