Question
www CNAME problem in DNS section
I have a domain from Godaddy.com , name is cihankoseoglu.com
I set up a ghost blog, and because i have custom domain gmail service on the domain i changed the nameservers to digital ocean and then added the MX records. the A record points to the IP address and everything seems fine.
Except that it isn’t. I can reach the website when I type cihankoseoglu.com * but when I type *www.cihankoseoglu.com i can’t reach the website. I tried messing with the CNAME record but to no avail.
I tried the solution in the following link, did not work.

Thanks for the help

I have the same issue and have waited 8+ hours for propagation to no success:
[works] A and AAA records for @
[fails with site cannot be reached] CNAME www @
Edit: I just realised ‘propagation’ doesn’t occur and I need to instead wait for cached records to expire - I may have incorrectly configured my previous CNAME and then after fixing it now I need to wait for the 12 hour cache it was set at to expire.
