# CNAME Record Not Propagating and Site Not Working

Good day everybody,

I am facing an issue with my domain configuration on Vercel. Despite following the necessary steps, my CNAME record is not propagating correctly, and my site is not working.

Domain Details:

* Domain: topalxscoalaauto.ro
* Vercel Project: topal-x-driving-school

DNS Configuration:

1. A Record:
  * Type: A
  * Name: @
  * Value: 76.76.21.21
2. CNAME Record:
  * Type: CNAME
  * Name: www
  * Value: cname.vercel-dns.com

Steps I Have Taken:

1. I updated the nameservers to Vercel’s nameservers:
  * NS1.VERCEL-DNS.COM
  * NS2.VERCEL-DNS.COM
2. I added the necessary A and CNAME records as mentioned above.
3. I verified the DNS settings using DNS Checker, and while the A record has propagated correctly, the CNAME record for [www.topalxscoalaauto.ro](http://www.topalxscoalaauto.ro) is not propagating successfully.
4. I have also added a CAA record:
  * Type: CAA
  * Name: @
  * Flag: 0
  * Tag: issue
  * Value: letsencrypt.org

Issue:

* The CNAME record is not visible or propagating correctly.
* My site topalxscoalaauto.ro is not working, and SSL certification is not being detected on the Globe Hosting site.

Additional Information:

* I have contacted my domain registrar support (GlobeHosting) and waiting also from them a solution.

I would appreciate any guidance or assistance to resolve this issue. Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards, Cristina Stoian.

Hey @cristinast86. Thanks for sharing all of these details. I see the domain is still using Vercel nameservers and I'm able to access [www.topalxscoalaauto.ro](http://www.topalxscoalaauto.ro/) in Chrome and Firefox without any DNS issues. 

I do see an error in the browser console which says `Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<'`. However, that doesn't seem related to DNS. It can sometimes take a while for DNS record changes to propagate globally so it probably just needed a bit of time to resolve. :slightly_smiling_face:
