Go to the DNS records for your domain.
Click Add a record and select CNAME as the type.
In the Hostname field, enter the text that appears before your domain name. In this example, use _8f075f876543bd986b86922aa1751168.example.
Then, enter _7c6e6856e9196a9e2a3c9565544b6db8.xlfgrmvvlj.acm-validations.aws. in the Points to field. Finally, click Save.
Check your CNAME records
Once the two CNAMEs are correctly added to your host, you can check their status using DNS Checker.
To check your records, you must enter the full CNAME name, including your domain name, into the search bar.
You should see the same value you added next to a green checkmark. If not, the records have not been added correctly, and you need to check your DNS zone.
- CNAME verification 01: verify the CloudFront CNAME record.
- CNAME verification 02: verify the validation CNAME record.
Important notes
- It can take up to 24β48 hours for DNS records to propagate completely.
- Sometimes, your host may not be able to register a CNAME record due to a conflict with other existing DNS records. This usually happens when adding the first CNAME. If this occurs, contact your host support to determine if those existing records are necessary or if they can be safely deleted.
