I was just about to start entering my dns records but when i clicked on ‘domain’ and entered the URL, this msg came up because my old glide app is using it: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/d/5d0bbb991fc0da3014ed43c2168f08c8594b8055.jpeg) Do i have to disconnect it first? ---

I pressed ‘ok’ and it exited out of the whole tab. When i clicked on ‘domain’ again, it took me to step 3, ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/4/248ea8c382d84a6ce5d4847a6a98704a49f122f9.jpeg) i pressed ‘back’ and now I’m at step 2. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/4/e41f869299d3ca8cad91dfe4c1eabb6c56b498f4.jpeg) Not sure if i should continue… ---

> [@Katelyn\_Alberts](#): > > Do i have to disconnect it first? Yes, you do. I’ve done this lots of times. It’s simple. - Remove Custom DNS config from original App - Add Custom DNS config to new App - Finished. Normally you don’t need to touch any DNS setting on the host provider side. ---

On the rare occasion Glide will change the host parameters when you switch Apps, so if you don’t get green ticks after a short while you may need to check that. ---

well i already screwed something up lol I tried to add a new A record on my host side and copied the link text here, and it added a new one on the glide side and now it shows two A records ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/1/013ca130a7952399cfc08a0ff232ecd8381baf85.png) ---

my new entry also isn’t showing up - but the old one is here, should i have just updated it instead of trying to add another record? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/c/cc7cbf9955be795c9b62173c4b477c22b3d31858.png) ---

You shouldn’t have added any new records at all. I would delete the one you added, wait for a bit and then check Glide. If it indicates the record is missing, then add it again. ---

ok so I should be updating my current records, not adding a new one? So delete the one i added, and update the one I underlined above, as well as update this TXT record here? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/4/a4899ccdd55409f734af475d876b482e9fa90324.png) ---

You shouldn’t have touched your records at all, unless the host values changed, and usually they don’t. ---
