Cannot validate domain - AAAA record deleted but failing

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue with my domain getswiftmart.com on my project . Vercel keeps showing the domain as having an invalid DNS configuration, even though my records are set up correctly.

Current setup:

  • A record for @ pointing to 216.198.79.1 (the IP Vercel provided)

  • DNS provider: Hostinger

The problem: Vercel’s dashboard says my DNS records don’t match, and when I checked via Vercel support, they mentioned the system is detecting an AAAA record pointing to 2a02:4780:b:f234:0:b8b:91c:5. However, I’ve confirmed with my DNS provider that no AAAA record exists for this domain.

I’ve also verified this using external DNS lookup tools — no AAAA record is present.

What I’ve tried:

  • Double-checked DNS settings at Hostinger

  • Verified records using dig and DNSChecker.org

  • Confirmed there are no hidden or default AAAA records

Has anyone experienced this before? Could this be a caching issue on Vercel’s side? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

You can also use v0 to narrow down the possibilities.
