Hi Jason!
Many thanks on the tip. I solved my issue.
Turns out the problem was on GoDaddy’s end; they had generated those A Type DNS records when originally purchasing the domain because of their (very annoying) attempts to lock you into their Website Maker ecosystem – made extra aggravating because you can’t simply delete those DNS records from the DNS dashboard because they’ve been “created by another product”.
In the rare case anybody else is having the same problem, here’s what you gotta do:
- Follow the steps of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZG9tuiC9JDs
- After deleting the Website Maker Service, make sure you also don’t have other GoDaddy services that create DNS records on their own like DNS forwarding and the like.
And that’s pretty much it, once you have “as clean as possible” a DNS dashboard, then you can simply follow the steps of adding Custom domains as seen here. And then it’s just a matter of waiting for the propagation to do its thing.
Again, thanks for the tip Jason. I wouldn’t have managed to figure it out if it wasn’t for it.
