My custom domain name is not validating
If your domain is not validating, here are some common reasons:
The NAME requires a suffix
Some domain registrars require you to add the CNAME NAME with a suffix.
For example if the NAME is abcdef try adding the NAME with your domain as the suffix. E.g. abcdef.mydomain.com
Additionally, some domain registrars also require you to add a trailing . (dot), E.g. abcdef.mydomain.com.
Your CNAME updates haven't updated yet
It can take some time for the CNAME records that you've applied to reflect across the internet. You can use a tool like DNSChecker.org to check this.
Your domain provider requires you to add a CAA record
You may need to add an additional CAA record for successful validation:
