any DNS experts?
I've a weebly.com website of many characters
http://candy....com/ if it were http://candyS...com/ it would be illegal, too many characters. When I revise it on weebly and publishes it, it publishes to www. Someone working on this problem at weebly.com reported it working. I got an 'untitled' and a blank page. so I republished [ the weebly.com editor >> republish ] it, and it again networks timeout Attempting to load http://www. which of course is too many characters. It has an A record of * and another of @ but a www. is disallowed in the add A record dialogue. ................ If all that makes any sense to someone not a newbie such as I as the problem, maybe a solution could be posted here or I should just wait out a solution appearing or not... ................ Not very important anyway. Which is why I'm posting here and not for now paying for a resolution. ..................

I am not an expert. However, I can use Google and search for the "maximum length of a Fully Qualified Domain Name". The top post referred me to RFC 1035 and stated 253 bytes, with 63 bytes for the first domain label (to the left of the first "." in the FQDN).

Posting a DNS problem without revealing the exact name makes it very difficult, or impossible to diagnose or to solve ;-)

I am not a expert either, and even less so when it comes to "web site builder" apps,
all though I experimented with some several years ago, none seemed to be able to do what I wanted , so gave up on them. There are not really enough details, as mentioned, to be able to say much. This strikes me as really odd, maybe it is some limitation or restriction the site builder and it's editor ? Quote:
Code:
Url Redirect Record @ http://www.my-longdomain-name.org Code:
A record @ IP Code:
A record WWW IP-NUMBER Quote:
When I set up/purchased the domain name, they do have it where if the domain name is to long,I could not even use it to start with. The GUI told me it was to long, so I needed to adjust, like wise it told me if the domain name was all ready being used, so I had to decide on a different domain name. This Weebly, site builder should never have allowed you to use a domain name that would be to long. If you are just starting the site, and domain, I would start over and choose a shorter domain name, one that you can use. On mine, the A record points to the IP , both the @ and the www. Then the "url redirect record" uses the @ and the entire url. At the bottom , in red : +add a record, when it is selected, it is not just a records, it has a selection of various types of records, including "url redirect". Off to the right, also in red, is where I can look at the FAQs, but also that is where they have to contact option, if none of the FAQs cover what I needed. Of course this may be different, depending on what kind of panel your name server is using. Here is a image, also might help give the OP some idea about what details are needed. ========================== edited =============== This might me better, for "weebly", : https://hc.weebly.com/hc/en-us/artic...ge-DNS-Records It all depends on who your name server is, most of them have clear instructions Search key words: Code:

It gets stranger. "http://[redacted].com" which is [ maybe ] unreachable if www. due to too many characters, has @ * but not www. A records and maybe needs a WWW cname record, or a redirect, or something, and is only a beta page, under a weebly.com account, but registered elsewhere, not only times out, but now if I type it in in one of the two ways www. or //candy, the browser loads the browser home page instead, and the other way, times out. Others report it loads as normal. PF problem here?? DNS at dyndns
or similar necc? Other arcane fix? [ I should scrap any webpage for now? ] .............. [ not important, just if anyone knows already... or a quick fix... ]

Either way, with the www or without it , I don't have any problem connecting.
So I don't see what needs to be fixed. I would suggest though , that you do something with the "contact us" form, as it is anything and anyone can submit , and it apparently send to your e-mail, or some e-mail,... you are going to start getting 100s of spambots submitting all sorts of stuff, like it is.

configuring a site,before you try to start one. If you are using a "hosting" service, you don't need to learn much about the server side of it, but you do need to learn how to use the panel they offer, and how their system works. It is best to build your site off line, using "local host", on your PC, after you have it built, and looking/working the way you want it, you upload the site to the hosting, and put it online. Personally, as I mentioned earlier, I learned to avoid these instant "site builders", they seemed to only complicate things and never allowed me to create the design exactly like I wanted it. Your lack of details makes it impossible to really help, for example: Quote:
