Domain Won't Connect – Causes & Fixes (DNS, A Record, Nameserver)
Quick answer: If your domain won't connect, in 90% of cases it's a wrong A record, wrong nameservers or ongoing DNS propagation. Check in this order – don't change everything at once.
If you landed here: You set up a domain but the website won't load, shows an old site or the game server isn't reachable via domain.
5-minute checklist
- Nameservers at registrar → point to NexoraHost, Cloudflare or your DNS provider? → Nameserver guide
- A record for
@and optionallywww→ points to correct server IP? - Propagation → waited at least 15–60 min since change? → DNS propagation
- Webspace: Domain assigned to site in panel? → Set up webspace
- Cloudflare: Orange cloud on? Test DNS-only (grey) → Cloudflare DNS
Error → cause → fix
| Symptom | Common cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" | Domain not registered / wrong NS | Check nameservers, domain status at registrar |
| Old website shown | DNS cache / old A record | Lower TTL, fix A record, flush cache |
| SSL error | No cert / wrong proxy | Set up SSL, Cloudflare Full SSL |
| Minecraft domain timeout | Missing SRV / closed port | SRV record + firewall |

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Why does my domain show the wrong site?
Usually wrong A record, stale DNS cache or CNAME instead of A on root. Check with dig or dnschecker.org.
Domain shows "Site can't be reached" – what to do?
Verify A record points to server IP, nameservers at registrar, wait 15–60 min propagation. For webspace: assign domain in panel.
Domain works with www but not without?
Root (@) and www need separate records – usually A/AAAA for @ and CNAME www → @ or both as A records.
