Getting a recurring Invalid configuration for my external domain

I bought a domain from godaddy.com for one of my projects hosted on Vercel. After following the steps online, I added an A and a CNAME record to my godaddy DNS configuration. The configuration kept being marked as invalid in vercel. I waited for over 48 hours for the DNS to work correctly but it didn't. Then I checked on https://dnschecker.org/ and saw that the DNS was not working there as well. Can someone please help me out ?

To reproduce this issue-

Add an external domain to your project
Get the A and CNAME record values from Vercel
Add A record and CNAME record to godaddy ( or whatever domain provider works for you )
You should see the invalid configuration message on Vercel.

The domain troubleshooting guide can help with most custom domain configuration issues. You might be able to use that guide to solve it before a human is available to help you. Then you can come back here and share the answer for bonus points.

You can also use v0 to narrow down the possibilities.

I went through the troubleshooting guide but it did not help

Looks like no one currently owns that domain.

It's possible there's a typo or payment error that prevented the domain purchase from finishing. I recommend checking with GoDaddy if you purchased the domain through them.

If you need a new custom domain, you also have the option to buy it from your Vercel dashboard or vercel.com/domains

I hope that helps!
