Not understanding how to delegate argentinean DNS to Render

Hi folks, I just started a static app and I would like to end the traffic from my domain which is .com.ar (Argentina) to the render app.

I’ve tried so far but without success.

The .com.ar domains in Argentina are managed by our tax office, AFIP.
And this is the screen I use to point domains to DNS (sorry but it’s in spanish).

So far I wasn’t able to understand how to configure this according with your instructions.

On top of that, if the solution would be just adding https://marcosdipaolo-qos0.onrender.com/ replacing ns1.allytech.com, i have another problem which is dns configurations go by pair as you see in the first capture, so only one dns record is not enough.

Pretty lost here, thanks for your help.

Hi Marcos,

We don’t provide DNS services here at Render - that looks like you might be on the name server configuration page - you should look to configure DNS entries as opposed to changing the name servers in your control panel instead,

Thanks @John_B for your reply.
Ok, I think I understand that. Si I went to the cPanel of my DNS provider and created the CNAME and A records according to the documentation.
This time my question is, what now?
When I hit https://marcosdipaolo.com.ar should it redirect to marcosdipaolo-qos0.onrender.com?
As you can see, I really don’t understand about DNS, so please bear with me.

I don’t see the records I would expect to see if I check the DNS records

$ dig A +short marcosdipaolo.com.ar200.68.105.36$ dig CNAME +short www.marcosdipaolo.com.arno result

these need to return our IP address for the first one and marcosdipaolo-qos0.onrender.com for the second one

Until they respond correctly then we can’t get the certificate issued and for things to start working here.

Thanks @John_B for your answer.

I leave you a couple of screen captures just to verify I did everything right.

Please let me know if I can do something else right now.

Marcos,
Those screenshots are correct but I’m not sure that nameserver is the one being used. I was unable to get a response for mail.marcosdipailo.com

Looking at the Whois info for your domain the DNS server is ns1|ns2.allytech.com - that’s where the DNS records need to be changed.

It’s marcosdipaolo.com.ar

Looking at the Whois info for your domain the DNS server is ns1|ns2.allytech.com - that’s where the DNS records need to be changed.

That’s where this thread started (look post 1) and where I was told Render does not provide DNS services.

I’m really not getting it here.

Hi Marcos,

My thinking with mail. was to test other records from your provided screenshot to see if I could get them to resolve - I wasn’t able to.

It’s not the ns1|n2.allytech.com that needs to be changed here - those are the addresses of the DNS servers that hold the authoritative records for your domain - usually your domain registrar. You typically get a control panel to edit the records for your domain which are returned via those nameservers. It would seem that the changes you make in cPanel aren’t being reflected publically.

Your next steps here will be to work with your provider to understand why the changes in your cPanel are not being reflected on the public internet,

I hope that helps,

John B

Yes!
That helps a lot!
I’ll get in touch with my dns provider to figure this out.
Thanks!
