Hallo community please help 

So I have the NextJs in Vercel ( simple landing page for the moment ) 

But also I have an aws account where I'm managing the backend 

therefore I have created an hosted zone (admin.domain.com )and attached a new ssl certificate to it 

in order to verify the DNS I've added the CNAME into the Vercel domain managing section.

Now this is a little too complicated as I have GoDaddy to manage nameservers

Vercel to manage DNS and AWS the rest.

Bottom line  nothing works due to Vercel issues and it does not say much error wise just ( site unreachable) 

NOTE : the frontend domain was working before I've added config info from the aws

Hey,

You don't need SSL certificate when you point domain to Vercel. We don't support custom SSL certificate certificate and Vercel automatically provide free certificate on `Pro` & `Hobby` plan. 

You can follow this instruction: https://vercel.com/docs/projects/domains/add-a-domain > Add domain to project and setup necessary record (which should appear in dashboard) to set the domain.
