I have followed a few guides and SO questions on how to point my domain name to my heroku app. Ultimately I want the domain www.app.teamengine.co.uk to point to my heroku app and www.teamengine.co.uk to point to my squarespace website.
I have ended up with the following settings on Network Solutions:
Any assistance would be really helpful.

CNAME Records

I have deployed an app on Heroku, and everything is going great when the app is being accessed from the herokuapp.com domain. I tried adding a custom domain and have followed the instructions from the documentation, but unfortunately, I encounter a DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error when trying to access the app from my custom domain.
Some articles pointed out how Heroku requires the usage of ALIAS ANAME or FLATTENING records, which may not be available in DNS providers. I am using a local DNS provider where Name Server configuration is not directly accessible, and only the DNS provider admin can configure it on my request, so I am unable to check the CNAME Records and such (probably because I use .id domain, which I believe to have a somewhat specific configuration due to its affiliation with the country Indonesia, could be wrong though).
For my Name Server, because my DNS Provider requires at least two different name servers, I registered the domains for my Heroku app (from the Heroku settings dashboard > add domain and from the CLI) as follows:
my-domain.id
*.my-domain.id
www.my-domain.id
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Any help would be highly appreciated! Thank you!
EDIT:
I have just been informed by my DNS provider admin that the name servers I used, which I got from Heroku ([haiku].herokudns.com) does not have IP address. Is there anything I did wrong on the configuration?
As it turns out I managed to find my own mistake! It turns out that I provided the DNS Target as Name Server to my provider, which is totally not the same thing. What solved my problem was simply asking the provider to register a CNAME with the DNS target from Heroku as the value.
Be sure to provide the correct DNS Target for the domains as the DNS Target produced for registering root domains like your-domain.com will be different from the DNS Target produced for registering subdomains like www.your-domain.com or when using wildcard tag (*.your-domain.com). Also, note that Heroku doesn't recommend the usage of A Record for root domains, so be sure that your DNS Provider supports the record types needed as this Heroku article suggests.
Thank you #Ruurtjan Pul for getting in touch! Hope this helps!
Heroku DNS is causing troubles: cannot recieve any email at myuser#stickersgallito.pe that uses Google Suite as Mailbox.
My host provider is Punto.pe a peruvian company.
My projects is hosted in Heroku, in there I've 2 DNS:
1) www.stickersgallito.pe -> ancient-crab-bwwmzXXXXXXXXXXXX.herokudns.com
2) stickersgallito.pe -> functional-wallaby-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.herokudns.com
I need that people can visit the site entering: www.stickersgallito.pe or just stickersgallito.pe.
So I've entered these 2 records as CNAMEs in my Host Provider Registry Panel.
Problem:
I've also set up other tools like MailGun and Google Suite (to have mailboxes like omar#stickersgallito.pe). MailGun functions correctly, I can visit the page either using: www.stickersgallito.pe or stickersgallito.pe.
But I cannot recieve emails at omar#stickersgallito.pe.
I've consulted my Host Provider and the say that the record for
stickersgallito.pe ->
functional-wallaby-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.herokudns.com is the
problem. It's interfering with other records.
They don't offer any solution, but point to Heroku for a response.
Heroku point me to their documentation and if after following it's steps it doesn't work I should talk to my Host Provider.
My host provider says that if I can provide an IP Address from Heroku we could solve this. Heroku's doesn't offer an IP address as far as I know.

What can I do?

UPDATE 1:
This is the kind of records my Host Provider allows me to enter: A, CNAME, TXT, MX.
When using heroku domains I get:
The CNAME record is forbidden for the root domain exactly for this reason, it doesn't allow any other records you have to work the way you want them to. In the heroku docs they say to use a CNAME like functionality for the root domain, which is ALIAS or ANAME record, but don't use CNAME, your provider should not even allow you to create it.
You can configure heroku to work for a subdomain (e.g. www) and then use a Web Forwarding/Redirecting for the root domain to the www subdomain, if your DNS host doesn't support ALIAS or ANAME record. Contact them for more information.
Here is more info about the root domain configuration: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains#add-a-custom-root-domain
And here is for a subdomain: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains#add-a-custom-domain-with-a-subdomain
I'm having hard times trying to redirect a custom domain on Heroku, have you guys had the same problem?
Configured custom domain on Heroku (already tried different variation):
The server asks for Server Name, so I add the only thing Heroku returns as the DNS:
Below there are two domains, the first says "servfail" (the current app domain), the second "nxdomain", which I've just bought it's fine.
Any advices? Should I deploy on another server? Thanks for the help!
You need to update the DNS servers of your domain fariba.cl to fariba.cl.herokudns.com at the domain registrar's end (from where you purchased the domain)
After that it will work fine.
For those facing DNS redirecting problems in Heroku, I suggest this Add-on that you can add to your app in Heroku (for free): PointDNS
With it you can get many types of adresses, including IP and/or n1.server n2.server and so on, in which you can add the address to your domain settings.
I have an application running on example.herokuapp.com. No subdomains, no HTTPS, just a basic, read-only application. I also bought my domain name example.com from name.com. How do I link my domain name to the Heroku app?
I found these two questions, but I can't understand them, don't have any idea what DNS, CNAME, A records etc. are..
How to configure DNS records for Name.com and a Heroku app
How to connect my domain bought on name.com with my herokuapp?
I would appreciate a dummy-friendly explanation on how to setup my domain name with my Heroku app.
From this page I understand (guess) I need to use an additional service such as DNSimple or CloudFlare, is this correct? I tried CloudFlare but there is an additional problem that my domain is already linked to 000webhost.com (which I want to remove) via name.com. Anyways, please just tell me what do I need to have in the end :) Also I prefer to use only the free plans, if possible.
Thanks in advance
Would like to learn how website works.
Purchased a domain name from bigrock domain registrar.
Am used to deploy applications to Heroku for my official websites.
But this is my personal site deployed to Heroku.
But how to connect my domain name to heroku ?
Heroku documentation is not clear to me.
I tried domain forwarding after playing with google search, but my site http://www.prithvibhargav.com/ is still giving me blank page.
Where as the heroku default website address still works
http://afternoon-cove-8287.herokuapp.com/
How to make my domain name to connect to heroku and work ?
There are so many terminoliges people use which is confusing
CName , A address, 301 redirect, domain forwarding
Which one to choose ?
You need to set your DNS to point to your heroku address. You should be able to go into the DNS settings in bigrock (where you registered the domain) and create CName record that will forward from your domain (http://www.prithvibhargav.com) to the heroku address (http://afternoon-cove-8287.herokuapp.com/)
