DNS Configuration
Configure your domain's DNS records to point to VibeMint's edge infrastructure. This reference covers the exact record types, values, and TTL settings you need for every major DNS provider.
Required DNS Records
Which Record Should I Use?
| Provider | Record for www | Record for apex (@) |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare | CNAME (DNS Only) | CNAME Flattening (auto) |
| Namecheap | CNAME | ALIAS record to cname.vibemint.com |
| GoDaddy | CNAME | A record to 76.76.21.21 |
| Google Domains / Squarespace | CNAME | A record to 76.76.21.21 |
| AWS Route 53 | CNAME | ALIAS record (A type with alias) |
| Vercel DNS | CNAME | A record to 76.76.21.21 |
Verify DNS Propagation
Use the following tools to verify your DNS records have propagated globally before contacting support:
Troubleshooting
Site not loading after adding CNAME
DNS propagation can take up to 24 hours. Use whatsmydns.net to check propagation status globally.
SSL certificate not provisioned
Ensure your CNAME is active and resolving correctly. SSL is issued within 60 seconds of successful domain verification.
Cloudflare orange cloud causing errors
Set the CNAME record proxy status to DNS Only (grey cloud icon). The orange proxy conflicts with VibeMint's SSL.
www works but apex (root) domain does not
Add an A record pointing to 76.76.21.21 or an ALIAS record (if supported) pointing to cname.vibemint.com for your apex domain.
Old site still showing after DNS change
Clear your browser cache and CDN cache. It may take up to 30 minutes for all edge nodes to fully invalidate.
