My domain isn't working

The most common reasons a domain won't verify or load your site, and how to fix them.

In this article

"The TXT record is missing"

  • Check the record's name is _webfree-verification (some panels add your domain automatically; don't type it twice).
  • Copy the value with the button, complete, with no extra spaces or quotes.

"The domain doesn't point to us"

  • The "www" CNAME must point to sites.suwebgratis.es, spelled exactly.
  • For the domain without www, use ALIAS/ANAME or a redirect to www. An old A record pointing to another server gets in the way: delete it.

Everything looks right but it won't verify

  • Wait: DNS changes can take a few hours to spread. Click "Verify" again later.
  • You can check your records with any online DNS checker, looking up the TXT for _webfree-verification.yourdomain.com and the CNAME for www.yourdomain.com.

It worked and then stopped

We re-check domains every day. If the records are missing for several days in a row, we stop serving your site on that domain and email you. It usually happens after changing DNS provider or renewing the domain: add the records again and click "Verify".
