I've done this so many times, but I'll still watch a 4 minute video cus I want James Q Quick to explain it to me.

[@avinashmurmu9070]

Guys it works, but not instantly as shown in the video, wait till netlify dns shows up besides your domain names. For me it took around 10 minutes to show up.

[@tim_t]

I've done this SO many times but I keep forgetting the process. Saving this video for reference.

[@ServantStatusMinistries]

So simple and straight to the point! Thank you so much!

[@732brudder]

Literally, was just needing this yesterday and was on my agenda to figure out today. Love your channel so that fact that you posted this this morning is perfect!

[@daisytran4813]

Cannot express how grateful I am to this video, thank you James

[@ITentrepreneur]

Thanks James Q Quick, that was really quick explanation and yet quite exhaustive

[@JamesQQuick]

So glad to hear that!

[@katarzynarosinska5395]

God bless you for this movie!! You saved me a lot of time and frustration. Thank you very much!!!

[@JamesQQuick]

Yayyy so glad!!

[@harleyspeedthrust4013]

netlify seems cool but tbh i love the fine-grained control u have over everything with AWS
i use aws to host my sites and to manage my DNS stuff and it's great

[@JamesQQuick]

Totally fair. Whatever works for you!

[@saadbaig3060]

Precise and to the point!

[@GreyStreet14]

Thank you, James. You've done a wonderful job.

[@420unreal]

This was exactly what i needed, thank you!

[@GwenCinoS]

You save my life James! Thanks a lot!

[@IAMTHEMUSK]

Hi, thanks for this video. I have a question, can we use an alias instead of changing the servers names? (cause i'm using a subdomain on my main host, and if I change the servers name my subdomain doesn't work anymore) Thanks!

[@vixx6243]

Wonderful. Thank you for your work. Helped me alot

[@pizzabossxd]

great video james, keep it up!

[@amaan0]

pretty straightforward, thank you

[@ajitawadhiya6967]

Thanks James,

[@ccy0246]

Thanks for an awesome video! just wondering if SSL/TLS certificate issue was solved. I was getting exact same issue

[@doneilchapman1542]

Thank you a lot. You saved me a ton of time.

[@ermvcorleone3069]

Is this a premium netlify account? I don't have SSL or HTTPS options. I'm still getting an SSL cert on my site but I have no options to manage?

[@Alchemymelany]

Thank you SO much!

[@almighysanti3061]

Amazing video!

[@eurorock5912]

Thanks James!)

[@AviAlgaly]

Problem is all my other records have been deleted so email is not working
how can i connect to my domain name without changing NS records?

[@dbibbyma]

Yeah, I just configured my site's DNS. 5 mins. Sweet!

[@CyanidePierce90]

What about DNS records? Do they need to change? I also saw a tutorial somewhere where all i had to do was point the CNAME to netlify. What is the difference and which is best?

[@timdevries6825]

I'd like to know this as well, as we have to deploy on a subdomain. Main domain runs on Webflow and the application will run on React+Nodejs.

[@CyanidePierce90]

@@timdevries6825 I've never really fully understood nameservers and dns but this is what happened. I used GoDaddy for my domain and when i entered the nameserver details (as in the video) my dns records section disappeared because nameservers were pointed to netlify. So DNS records must only matter on the nameserver. Hope this helps

[@hichamamroussi9087]

Thank you!😊

You're very welcome!

Thank you very much

Thanks man!

[@anasouardini]

You hosted the entire stack on netlify? Do you have a video on that?

[@Viralplace]

I have a domain on godaddy, and I use netlify. I have a question:
How can i create a subdomain on godaddy? It ask me for an ip address... should I put netlify data?

[@BalaSakthi]

Thank you for your tutorial, while adding domain to netlify for verfiying DNS it give 502 error why?

[@TreyDubya]

The amount of times I've serached this and it took longer then it needed>>>>

[@nikoman71326]

thanks!

[@machk9967]

Should not we buy the hosting? do we only buy the domain? Thanks

[@yun-ruzeng5026]

goooood

[@mjshubham21]

Hey, I just finished learning react and I have a client, I asked them to hire me on Fiverr but I don't know a few things about it... Do freelancers have to deploy the site or just submit the code and the client deploy's the site by themselves??

[@anishjoshi1999]

Thanks james

[@jobiej7416]

Do I need to purchase ssl from namecheap if I'm connecting my domain name to netlify

[@vaisakhkm783]

how do do this for a subdomain?

[@salaheddinemaarouf1]

Thank you

[@user-hd2uv7oc8n]

How to use with cloudflare and not my domaind dns?

[@owaisbukhari4847]

Hey james Thanks for the informative video. I had an issue, as soon as I add custom domain names, my private email stopped working.

[@JohannesFraundorfer]

I got the same issue, got a fix for that?

[@steviefrank5651]

is this available only for paid netlify versions?

[@JamesQQuick]

Nope. YOu can do it on free tier
