CNAME pointed at the incorrect host

[jakeleong]

Hi support,

I have added my CNAME to my direct admin DNS Management but when i check with DNS Checker, the CNAME is pointed to the wrong URL as there is additional hostname behind my added CNAME and it should be showing only squeeze.gr8.com as it seems like some kind of bug for my direct admin panel, someone please help on this asap!!

DNS Checker: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#CNAME/jaketest1.kalo.com.my

You need to put an extra dot (trailing dot) at the end of squeeze.gr8.com, like this:

jaketest1     CNAME     squeeze.gr8.com.

Otherwise your DNS server will interpret it as a subdomain of kaio.com.my.

Hi jake,

DNS record changes can take a while to propagate. DNS settings look fine now:

dig a jaketest1.kalo.com.my

jaketest1.kalo.com.my.    3600    IN    CNAME    squeeze.gr8.com.
squeeze.gr8.com.    3600    IN    A    104.160.64.15

and I see a website when surfing to the URL.

You should wait... This things are not usually instant. When I check your DNS settings, half of servers show the correct one, half not yet.

I have added an extra dot but i still get the same result.

Every DNS change can take between 2- 72 hours.
