  To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
  entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain
  contain(s) the right IP address.

My web server is (include version): Flask, Gunicorn, React
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Azure VM(Ubuntu)

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: My App is hosted on Azure VM Linux instance, but the domain is registered using Azure Domain Services.

Please help

You have to point your domain at your webserver using a DNS A record.

At the moment, you're using GoDaddy's "domain forwarding" or "domain masking" function, which just puts your server's IP address inside an HTML iframe.

This isn't compatible with being able to setup SSL, because your domain actually points to GoDaddy's webserver instead of your Azure one!

You need to do it this way instead of using domain forwarding: https://au.godaddy.com/help/add-an-a-record-19238

Hi, But I'm not using GoDaddy for my domains. I'm using Azure Domain Services for my Domains.

I don’t know whether Azure maybe resells GoDaddy, but they are definitely the registrar of record for your domain name.

You might be able to find those same domain forwarding options in Azure if that’s the case.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll do this and get back to you.

Hey @_az
I dont know what the problem is now
Done with the A records on azure domain services.

Make your website better

By checking this website, www.code-capture.com is working, but Code-capture.com is not.
What can be the issue?

[_az]

Are you sure you set it to the right IP address in the A records?

It needs to be 52.140.73.53 for both the base domain and for www.

[eKuG]

Okay! I'll set the IPs for both the domains same. There was some issue, I don't know why. Let me get back to you with that! Thanks
