Hey @83d4aeec1aee44a285fe4283b374a1,

Are you using DigitalOcean’s Nameservers? If, yes can you confirm your DNS as well, have you pointed it to cloudflare or do you wish it to be directly to the App Platform?

Additionally, check this article here:

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/dns/

It can help meanwhile you answer the questions I have for you above.

Hello @83d4aeec1aee44a285fe4283b374a1

You can make sure the nameservers at Namecheap are pointed correctly to DigitalOcean’s nameservers. Also, confirm that the DNS records are correctly set up in your DigitalOcean account.

You can refer to the following documentation for how to correctly configure your DNS:

How To Point to DigitalOcean Nameservers From Common Domain Registrars

Please remember these changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate.

Hope that this helps!
