## **Check Conflicting Records**

Make sure there are no existing records with the same Host:

* A Record

If any exist, remove them before continuing.

Here is the example of conflicting records:

{% columns %}
{% column width="50%" %}

{% endcolumn %}

{% column width="50%" %}

<figure><img src="/files/3VII0aj4vXmeAj7Po29O" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}

## **DNS Update Time**

* New records usually take effect within **30 minutes**

## **Finish in Wegic**

1. Return to Wegic
2. Click **Update / Publish** (top-right corner) → This opens the publish settings modal
3. In the modal, click **Custom Domain → Connect**

6. Click **Publish** to apply your website to the domain

{% hint style="info" %}

## **Important Notes**

* Do not include your domain in **Host** (e.g. use `www`, not `www.domain.com`)
* Namecheap automatically appends your domain to Host
* Value must be a valid target (domain or IP, not random text)
