DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

  • DNS
  • Domains

What it means

The domain name does not lead to any server: the internet's address book has no entry for it. Either the records are missing, or the domain is not set up or has expired.

Why it happens

  • The DNS records your host asked for were never added, or have a typo.
  • The domain's nameservers point to a different DNS provider than the one you edited.
  • The domain expired.
  • A brand-new record has not spread yet (usually minutes, sometimes hours).

How to fix it

  1. Copy the exact records from your host's domain settings and add them at your DNS provider.
  2. Check the nameservers at your registrar match the provider where you edit records.
  3. Check the domain's expiry date and turn on auto-renew.
  4. Run the domain checker to see what the domain resolves to now.

My domain shows DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN. Tell me exactly which DNS records my host needs for this project (bare domain and www), and the order to check records, nameservers and expiry.
