Hi,

I using Cloudflare and trying to connect my custom domain. When I try to add an Alias with “dns.builder.live”, Cloudflare doesn’t accept and it looks like;

 ![CleanShot 2021-09-25 at 03.20.57@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/builder/original/1X/2efec33381af30cb23b58d8fe44965c34c039d10.png)

I tried to ping that URL to get an IPv4 address and it didn’t work as well.

Can anyone help me with this issue?

hey @Omer - you’ll want to use a `CNAME` record instead of an `A` record

Try doing:

Type: `CNAME`  
Name: `@`  
Host: `dns.builder.live`

Thanks, Steve it works. Looks like I needed to delete old A and CNAME records to configure it 🙂
