Users are getting in touch to say they are having issues accessing my site scoreboardsoccer.com and www.scoreboardsoccer.com
Attached is a screenshot sent by a user
Created by a glide expert and
the domain was purchased via Europe Registry
the domain was purchased via Europe Registry
Testing from Singapore:
- scoreboardsoccer.com - loads, but quite slowly
- www.scoreboardsoccer.com - gives a Cloudflare DNS Resolution failure
Have there been any changes made recently to your Custom Domain and/or DNS configuration?
A glide expert tried to help with this on Wednesday. But users still reporting issues:
Ah, thatās Bob. Best you get in touch with him - he will be able to escalate to Glide Support if necessary.

Thanks Darren, have spoken to Bob and heās tried to help. Also spoken to Santiago from Glide who directed me to this forum to try and get some help
Okay, Iām chatting with Bob on the side. Will see if I can help.

Hi Darren, wondering if you managed to find the issue? I appreciate you looking into this

Iām afraid not. From what I saw in the Loom that you shared, and other info that Bob shared, I donāt see anything obviously wrong. My suspicion is that there might be one or more rogue DNS zone records present that are getting in the way, but I canāt say that for sure. I suggested to Bob last night that the next step could be to escalate to your hosting provider, but apparently thatās already been done and they deflected to Glide?
If it was me, and I wasnāt able to figure it out myself, and I wasnāt getting any support from the provider, then Iād probably consider taking my business elsewhere, ie. switching to another provider.
Thank you Darren. I will look to switch to another provider. Sorry to ask but I am no good with IT (hence why I pay glide to help), When you say change provider? Do you mean Glide or Europe Registry?
I have no idea how this would work to keep my site and current users active.
David
I meant Europe Registry 
If you want a recommendation, I would recommend Google Domains. Very easy to manage, and doing what you want (www.domain.com => domain.com) is trivial to setup (no extra DNS records required, just a simple website redirect).
Switching over is not that difficult. Google gives you step by step instructions for transferring an existing domain.

Thanks Darren and @Robert_Petitto - I will speak to Europe Registry 1 more time and if they canāt help try and switch to Google Domains.
I received another user message today with the attached screenshot 
hi @Darren_Murphy / @Robert_Petitto Europe Registry said:
āthe domain DNS is not pointing to our hosting IP address directly. In this case we cant advise what the issue isā and sent the attached picture
They said āyour DNS are pointing to 104.22.4.63. Please contact your hosting providerā
From Europe Registry: āIn the DNS everything is fine so there might be routing issues to your web server. Unfortunately there is nothing further we can do from here. Your web host really needs to help you here (including with what the users like you that canāt connect to the site need to test to see what the issue is from their networks)ā
Very frustrating as I am just being sign posted back and fourth from Glide and Europe Registry
This confuses me. Glide is hosting the app, not Europeanregistry. So why would we point anything to THEIR hosting IP address?
If itās confusing you Bob then you can imagine how lost I am 
Iām just a Soccer Coach trying to share ideas to make the sport fun for kids! This is all way beyond my understanding
I think what the problem was is that you had originally wanted users to access the site from an older URL (app.scoreboardsoccer.com?) so your provider created DNS Redirect to make it happen? However, this is causing issues with www . Also, not sure why users canāt access scoreboardsoccer.com directly. In the States, I have no issue accessing that site. Do they need to clear the cache on their end? I think clearing your DNS records and starting from scratch might be in the cards. I can attempt to reach out to the registry one last time though to make sure.
Thanks Bob - appreciate you looking into this
More messages and screenshots sent today. Would you recommend changing the host provider? To Google Domains as @Darren_Murphy suggested? Iām assuming I can keep scoreboardsoccer.com as the website name as this is pretty important. Need to do something soon as Iām losing a lot of users and the reputation of the site is being tarnished.
Thanks
David
