I’m now trying to do the same thing with the videogames.pixelastic.com subdomain. I went to the site domain settings and added videogames.pixelastic.com as a new domain (I thought this was the correct way to do it). But I had a message about checking my DNS configuration.
You did exactly the right thing. Somehow there was a hiccup somewhere in our backend actually creating the DNS record, so I re-saved it and this time it works.
Thanks a lot for the fix, everything seems to be working correctly now!
I can see in my DNS panel that I still have one subdomain pointing to pixelastic.com and the other to videogames-pixelastic.netlify.com. Out of curiosity, could you explain why this is so?
If you initially configure your domain or subdomain to a netlify site and then later on change the site it is configured on, that doesn’t reflect the change. They continue to work regardless of what is shown there, though.
