Hello

I want to setup own domain name. I read the instructions.Here: https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/OwnDomains

I bought a domain name.I create a new Web app. Enter domain and chose Django. The DNS zone have CNAME = webapp-148482.pythonanywhere.kom. But the application of my domain name is not available. Why? Here DNS dig:

; <<>> DiG 9.10.2-P4-RedHat-9.10.2-5.P4.fc22 <<>> @8.8.8.8 www.bassmagazin.ru CNAME ; (1 server found) ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 63255 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1

;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 512 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;www.bassmagazin.ru. IN CNAME

;; ANSWER SECTION: www.bassmagazin.ru. 21483 IN CNAME webapp-148482.pythonanywhere.com.

http://www.bassmagazin.ru/ looks like it's working now. Could it be that DNS was just taking a while to propagate? Or your browser cache maybe?

Adding on - trying to set up a domain name - name.com is where my domain is registered. Here's what I have filled out there for www.bluetopzen.com which is the web app on pythonanywhere. PythonAnywhere is telling me that I do not have a CNAME setup - did this yesterday. Thoughts?

I've just checked "www.bluetopzen.com" here http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx? and it is showing you have an A record setup not a CNAME.

ah- I think the host should probably be www instead of www.bluetopzen.com

Thanks to both of you - with name.com - I'm choosing CNAME as the option - but you are right that it shows up as an A recrord using the tool. And I did fill in www for the host field - it automatically appends the bluetopzen.com.

I'll follow up with name.com to see what I can figure out. Thanks again.
