Not able to set up the custom domain. Create the DNS record a while ago, but just get the infinite wait. Any ideas?

be a problem with the CNAME I have godaddy so instead of including the entire domain include only the sub domain prefix.  
use app instead of [app.example.com](http://app.example.com)

Go to your DNS Management & create a redirect to [hosting.adalo.com](http://hosting.adalo.com) (via your domain with help CNAME).

This varies based on provider, but probably the answer is to have the value in the @ column just be “app” instead of [app.seeva.com](http://app.seeva.com)

Perfect. Thanks @Ben

I would suggest adding where it says “Name: [app.appdomain.com](http://app.appdomain.com) (or just app)”

I’m having the same issue. The testing connection process do not finish. I tried with the cname considering the full structure [app.mysite.com](http://app.mysite.com) and only app. I checked my domain with a dns checker and received that [app.mysite.com](http://app.mysite.com) is working since last week, but I can’t finish the process in the Adalo setting section.

Thanks for your help!

My solution was to only use ‘app’ not [app.domain.com](http://app.domain.com).

@Neker,

For your DNS here’s how I have mine setup:

 ![2020-04-27 21_12_29-29-](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/1X/426cf2019a55518a7278a7ef107cfda70966aa21.png)

Then once your DNS passes, under publish \> PWA select your domain and hit save.  
 ![2020-04-27 21_13_28-28-](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/1X/da3c0f89e4eb5c37b2749d21b383fa6b1d5745f1.png)

I hope that helps you. Keep all of us posted.

Hi @bakerofideas! I created the same cname record without results. If I check my dns url with [dnschecker.org](http://dnschecker.org), the results is: [hosting.adalo.com.mysite.com](http://hosting.adalo.com.mysite.com)

Do you obtain the same result?

When I tried the process in the Adalo site, the test connection process keeps running indefinitely.

No. It should come back as only hosting.adalo.com.

Hi @Ben attached the screenshot requested. I tried hr only also.

This can vary by DNS provider, but I believe what you need to put for the Alias is just “hr” and not “hr.ohm.uy”
