Other Registrars

The process is similar:

  2. Add A record: @ → 216.198.79.1
  3. Add CNAME record: www → cname.vercel-dns.com
  4. Save changes

After Adding Records

  1. Wait 5-60 minutes for DNS propagation
  2. Check Vercel dashboard - status should change from "Invalid Configuration" to "Valid Configuration"
  3. Visit https://roovert.com - should load your site
  4. SSL certificate will be automatically provisioned (may take a few more minutes)

Verify DNS Propagation

You can check if DNS has propagated globally:

Troubleshooting

Still showing "Invalid Configuration" after 1 hour?

  • Double-check the A record value is exactly 216.198.79.1
  • Make sure the record name is @ (not roovert.com or blank)
  • Verify you saved the changes at your registrar
  • Clear your browser cache and refresh Vercel dashboard

Site not loading?

  • Wait a bit longer (DNS can take up to 48 hours, but usually much faster)
  • Check DNS propagation with dnschecker.org
  • Make sure SSL certificate has been provisioned (Vercel does this automatically)

Once Vercel shows "Valid Configuration", your site will be live at https://roovert.com! 🎉
